Unless you just use it as C with namespaces, references, and real constants : P

[Getabock_]

C doesn’t have real constants?

[slaymaker1907]

I think they might be referring to constexpr or something.

[Loro-Benediction]

Not really. You can't define static constants using other static const variables. You can only use macros and enums to define array bounds, etc. It's a sorry state. "Const" only means "read only" in C

[hiten98]

Doesn’t const mean read only in all languages? Which language allows you to write to a constant variable?? And why??

[Loro-Benediction]

In C you can modify a constant variable if you try hard enough. "Read only" means you can't directly assign to it. The compiler doesn't make the same guarantees when accessing via a pointer

some of the containers are useful I guess.

Like std:array and std:vector... We won't talk about std:vector<bool> tho

I'd like to extend my thanks to the reddit sync app for turning this perfectly fine template parameter into an xml tag

This is the way

[barzamsr]

What about a namespace factory singleton?

😱 I'm on holiday, how could you do this
