| Oct 1, 2015 at 7:01 | comment | added | Bart van Ingen Schenau | @JörgWMittag: I have never met anyone who used "C/C++" as a a shorthand for "the common subset of C and C++" and also knew what he was talking about. People who are intentionally working in the common subset tend to make that explicit by not abbreviating. | |

I know that there are people who write code in the intersection of C and C++, and use a C++ compiler for typechecking, but a C compiler for code generation. I have no idea whether that actually makes sense or not, though. However, it is a topic that comes up every couple of years on the Linux Kernel Mailinglist, when someone submits a patch to rename the (very important in the Linux Kernel's Unified Object-Oriented Driver Model) struct class to something like struct klass for exactly that reason, and then gets invariably shot down by Linus.
