And there it is. I programmed in C++ long enough to "know" this, but I still remember more jr. Engineers and even arguments with more sr. Engineers around this type of question.

Rust has removed this kind of question almost entirely from the language.

Personally, I have no intention of ever going back to C/C++ for any new project I work on.

Of course, this has nothing to do with OO, and everything with C++.

Or Windows.

Anyway my point was, why force your readers to find and use a compiler when you could just give the answer below? Not sure why I got downvoted.
