Alright. Got the L"" strings working and the tests are in. The GCC patch is about as done as the Clang one, and it has exception support too.

So, I thought the exercise at the end was going to make my brain itch...Instead it was really easy (challenge is included in screenshot). Here is the answer based on what they wanted:

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
int numbers[5];

numbers[0] = 10;
numbers[4] = 50;

printf("%d\n", numbers[0]);
printf("%d\n", numbers[4]);

return 0;
}

The output should end up being:
10
50

I'm beginning to kind of understand C a little bit, not by much because it took a long time for me to figure this out. LMAO Progress is incremental, now it's time to look at strings!

#programming #C

"La compilation n'est pas une science occulte" écrivait en 2014 Philippe Dunski en annexe de son livre "Coder efficacement –Bonnes pratiques et erreurs à éviter (en C++)", toujours d'actualité dix ans après.

Pourquoi un simple #include <iostream> génère-t-il un fichier de 17 000 lignes ? Pourquoi obtient-on une erreur "undefined reference to" ?

Ce texte, proposé en article sur notre site, l'explique avec des mots simples.
