   TIL that you can use ' to group digits in C++…? Since when is that a thing?
   int i = 1'000'000;

     @root42 It came in with C++14, so ten years ago.

     @root42 Embedded compilers are often trailing; we only just recently upgraded to a C++17 compiler at $DAYJOB. Can't get much further with the current hardware we're targetting as the CPU isn't supported by newer GCC or GLibC...

     And there's also the thing about being mentally stuck to the version of C++ one learnt. I learnt C++ back in the late 1990s, and I still have some old code written from before namespaces that I just tacked "use namespace std;" on to be able to compile... 🙂

     @nafmo …and the car industry is still on C++11 for the most part. No wonder I miss out on all the good stuff.

     @root42 Nothing says being an active developer as good as publishing unfinished beta versions on GitHub…
