| Oct 2, 2015 at 12:45 | comment | added | ouah | @Ben by the the first version of C++ I meant the first version of Standard C++. | |
| Oct 2, 2015 at 12:30 | comment | added | Ben | @ouah, That's not the first version of C++. The book is from 1988 and at that time neither language was an ISO standard. The current version of C++ at that time was Bjarne Stroustrup's 1985 book. | |
| Oct 2, 2015 at 12:08 | comment | added | ouah | @Ben this program is not allowed in any C++ versions (including the first C++ version, C++98). | |
| Oct 2, 2015 at 11:11 | comment | added | Ben | @ouah, It looks like Professor Stroustrup missed one then :-) Note that's not allowed in C11 either :-) Pretty sure it was allowed in earlier versions of C++ though. | |
| Oct 2, 2015 at 10:19 | comment | added | ouah | @Ben the first program (hello world) in "The C Programming Language (2nd Edition)" omits the return type of main which is invalid in C++. | |
| Oct 2, 2015 at 9:01 | comment | added | Ben | stroustrup.com/bs_faq.html#C-is-subset "In the strict mathematical sense, C isn't a subset of C++...However, C++ supports every programming technique supported by C... It is not uncommon to be able to convert tens of thousands of lines of C to C-style C++ in a few hours. Thus, C++ is as much a superset of ANSI C as ANSI C is a superset of K&R C and much as ISO C++ is a superset of C++ as it existed in 1985. Well written C tends to be legal C++ also. For example, every example in Kernighan & Ritchie: "The C Programming Language (2nd Edition)" is also a C++ program." | |
