Q: The 'Hello World' example is wrong. When I tried to correct it, my edit was reverted.
A: The example code is correct; it compiles and runs on an ISO-compatible system. More importantly, it is cited to "The C++ Programming Language" by Bjarne Stroustrup, which is agreed to be a reliable source on the subject. Any uncited alteration constitutes original research and/or synthesis, which are violations of Wikipedia's policy on verifiability.

"In some cases, exceptions cannot be used due to technical reasons. ...."[edit]

Unnecessary complication. C++ without exception handling is not C++ but a completely different language. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.179.4.135 (talk) 00:51, 6 June 2019 (UTC)

"Note that many C++ "styles" like Google's,[64] forbid usage of exceptions in C++ programs. "[edit]

This stupidity does not need to be mentioned here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:6000:EC02:E800:1935:C2B5:33C7:D77A (talk) 01:10, 6 June 2019 (UTC)

Potential copyright violation?[edit]

About the Official C++ Website[edit]

ISOCPP.org is not the official website, there isn't a official website. There is only a official documentation, available at https://www.iso.org/standard/68564.html. But no, there is not a official site. Proposing to remove. The creeper2007 (talk) 00:09, 22 March 2020 (UTC)

Oppose. From this About page, the mentioned website is property of the Standard C++ Foundation, whose directors and officers include Chandler Carruth, Bjarne Stroustrup, Herb Sutter and some other notable members of the community. No programming language will own anything, so a website owned by the main not-for-profit organization about that language is probably as good as it gets.

I don't see any claim that isocpp.org is the official site. What is the problem? Johnuniq (talk) 23:02, 22 March 2020 (UTC)
Well, it says the website is isocpp.org in the side box The creeper2007 (talk)

"Removed information-free pic" - meet me here[edit]

Hi, pic removed as it served no purpose - the C++ was not visible (it could have been python for all I could tell), the lady was no-one of note, the situation was of no significance, so the picture + caption added nothing to the article. So I removed it.

If it has merit, what is it that I'm missing? Thanks 88.108.221.113 (talk) 10:04, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

If you zoom in a bit on the photo, you will see that it is definitely C++ not Python – there are #include statements, an int main(), cout << style output statements, and so forth. The value of the image is that it actually shows someone in the act of coding C++, which, after all, is what the article is about. Wasted Time R (talk) 10:56, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
Hiya, well here's the pic <https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/49/%D0%A1%D0%BE%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B0.jpg> I did zoom in on it before, just done so again and I'm stuffed if I can make out the language. Maybe it's just me.
But what does it add. To me the fact that she's female is about the only thing of value because it just might let other women feel it's not so alien a subject to get into (I'm a guy BTW). I guess the other pics have questionable value philosophically, after all who really needs to know what Stroustrup looks like, or the temporary rented chambers for the standards committee, perhaps, but they are both central to the language. What does this pic have to offer? It stood out for me because it seemed so unrelated to anything.
If you feel you want it back, please restore. I'm not going to fight over it. 88.108.221.113 (talk) 18:21, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
It's definitely C++, but "someone actually in the act of coding" doesn't really add much / anything to the article. I couldn't find any other programming language articles that have a similar type of picture. I vote for it to stay removed from this article. Although maybe it would go well in Women in computing. peterl (talk) 21:02, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
Agree with not including the image. No reader of this article will zoom in on a full-screen-sized image to see that it's C++; therefore the image is just someone on a PC with maybe some text of some sort on monitor. Coding in C++ looks exactly like coding in any other language, or just random typing for that matter, so even a much improved version of this image would still be unhelpful. --A D Monroe III(talk) 00:24, 2 April 2020 (UTC)
