A comment on C++ is a hack.

Re:C++ is a hack by ansible on Tuesday February 16, 2016 @12:34PM (#11111553)
My team is about to embark upon a C++ project. The compiler will be gcc 4.8.x, and supports C++11. So I've bought Stroustrup's "C++ Programming language 4th Edition", and Scott Meyer's "Effective Modern C++".

I've got some reading to do.

What's the state of tools related to encouraging / enforcing modern C++ style?

Edit: grammar.
