- I just got a press release from Borland that says their upcoming 5.0
- compiler will support keywords and, or, not, that are synonyms to &&,
- || and !.
-
- They say you can use those if your local keyboard makes it difficult
- to write the traditional tokens. Hell, my local eyes make it difficult
- to read them. Does that mean I can from now on just write
- if (0 <= x and x <= 1) . . .
- and be in conformance with ANSI C++?
-
- That is, are "and", "or", "not", now reserved words in ALL C++
- programs, or do you actually have to reside in a foreign country and
- first use some preprocessor (like that trigraph filter) to get them?
-
- If the answer is "they are reserved words in the language", then I'll
- add
- #define and &&
- #define or ||
- #define not !
- into my personal setup file today, until my compiler understands them
- natively. Hooray!
