Complex numbers, for example. Also, C preprocessor expands macros differently on MSVC.

I hope it would work with wine. Then cross compiling Win64 binaries from Linux would become convenient without requiring spinning up a Windows VM.

It is not 4 times, it is 16 times. Your 1TB storages would become 64GB.

The antivirus program forced to be installed by my company does not allow .odin file to exist, as there is a ransomware which encrypts files into *.odin.

Of course, git cloning the ALE plugin (linter + languageserver) for VIM also fails as ALE has an .odin file in its repo.

To be fair, MSVC has the most C99 stuffs. What is mainly missing for porting (my) programs is the native complex number. But we have Intel compiler for free on Windows, which is fully compatible with the C/C++ standard and produces faster binaries.

The C++ frontend of MSVC handles (the common) compiler-specific language extensions differently than the other compilers. Besides, its pre-processor behaves differently too. It is now good that there is a clang frontend for MSVC.

It is a pitty that

- GCC switched from C to C++

- CUDA switched from C to C++

But I can understand the decision, and at that time , C++ frontend features and libs were a little bit less horrible.
