Important reminder just in the Preface :-)

Takeaway #1: "C and C++ are different: don’t mix them, and don’t mix them up"

Really looking forward to #embed, once the compilers catch up. Until then, Golang.

Specially relevant to all those folks that insist on "Coding C with a C++ compiler", instead of safer language constructs, and standard library alternatives provided by C++ during the last decades.

So happy that we still get the dinosaur mascots! This is a good book.

I mean as long as your goal is specifically to do that I think it's fine. Using a C++ compiler to compile a C program isn't that rare.

Table of contents in the sidebar doesn't work properly for me when I click on an entry (in macOS Preview).

Bjarne should have called it ++C.

This is not how C standards work. If it appears in the standard, it means that it is already implemented in some compilers (in that case, at least in gcc and clang).

Clang 19 has it.
