Here are some (old) image builds with it:

C++17: The two line visitor explained

Very interesting. I have a personal experimental project to convert go to c++ but it's less advanced than this (https://github.com/Rokhan/gocpp). My initial intention was to manage garbage collector with some smart pointer or something like Boehm GC but I've still not reached the point where it's the main problem to solve.

Interesting.

Just a little nitpick on the repo root: "This is not the readme you want, Please go to the src directory." => But there is no readme in src directory

Looking at the history it looks like a bot.

- quite young account

- all comments are roughly the same size

- only top level comments, never reply to other comments

I don't know why but AI and LLMs seems to make people to lose basic sense of rationality. I didn't think we would have seen so many comments such as "It’s all the same just different syntax" after a full rewrite some years ago.

What's your imagined ideal outcome when you comment... this, exactly?

That you take more time to search yourself before asking other to do it.

Advice: just put the link and skip snarky commentary

As usual, the one requesting compliance to other is often the worst offender.

Apart from the guy claiming an imaginary "all security bugs will be fixed" which I already said I disagree

That was exactly the point of the 'bluedragon1221' initial comment you were responded to. So finally you agree ?

Which part of the comment comes off as fanatic to you?

I didn't use the word 'fanatic' neither the previous comment you were responded too.

Can you discuss productively without attacks?

So you thing someone telling you "look a little harder" is a "personal attack" ? After I took some time to give you a link you ask for ?

I'm not seeing fanaticism.

You are the only one using this word in this discussion.

There is some interoperability provision to patents and copyright in European union if I remember correctly but I don't know how broad they are and if they apply to this.

I don't work regularly on it but I have a proof of concept go to c++ compiler that try to get the exact same behaviour : https://github.com/Rokhan/gocpp

At the moment, it sort of work for simple one-file project with no dependencies if you don't mind there is no garbage collector. (it try to compile recursively library imports but linking logic is not implemented)

It's probably just a technical accounting update. Old assets are often kept valued at their buy price and not reevaluated every year to avoid taxes (Banque de France is not exempt from taxes). As they swap a type of gold by another and do a sell/buy action, the new gold is valued to current market price while the old one was valued in accounting at an old value.

They had a deficit last year, so they can probably avoid to pay tax this year by balancing last year loss with this year profit.
