BREAKING: C++26 will introduce unsigned double

@vitaut Cool now we only have to wait for signed void.

[synlogic4242@social.vivaldi.net]

@vitaut cant tell if serious

@vitaut

I had students trying that well before!

@PeterSommerlad How did it go?

[shac@ioc.exchange]

@vitaut This implies unsigned nan

[petersommerlad@mastodon.social]

@vitaut they asked me why it doesn't compile in the lab exercise.

to be fair, their first two semesters where in Java and unsigned was something new in C++

[alexguteniev@mastodon.social]

@vitaut I'd perfer that it added signed pointers as standard feature

[alexguteniev@mastodon.social]

@vitaut there's inconsistency when some implementations have them, and some don't
