Do you know the difference between a script and a program?

A script is what you give the actors; a program is what you give the audience.

I don't understand the complaint. What exactly is the issue?

I'll update my mems when Microsoft decides to implement C99. (Hey, it's only been a quarter of a century ...)

Yeah, just don't make any mistakes and you'll be fine. Come on guys, how hard can it be?

The same is true of std::endl. std::endl is simply defined as << '\n' << std::flush; nothing more, nothing less. In all cases where endl gives you a "properly translated" newline, so does \n.

std::endl provides zero portability benefits. C++ does have a portable newline abstraction, but it is called \n, not endl.
