What’s wrong with
? ;-)It follows tradition (https://minnie.tuhs.org/cgi-bin/utree.pl?file=V7/usr/src/cmd...)
Also, some compilers will accept 'foto' + i, interpreting 'foto' as a hex constant 0x666F746F.
Similarly, 'bigImage' may be interpreted as a 64-bit literal.
The full title, "The cover of C++: The Programming Language raises questions not answered by the cover" was too long for HN, apparently.
Using more than 80 characters would be madness.
Tell that to Raymond Chen! ;-D
