Is it possible to turn off support for “and” / “or” boolean operator usage in gcc?

Question

GCC seems to allow \"and\" / \"or\" to be used instead of \"&&\" / \"||\" in C++ code; however, as I expected, many compilers (notably MSVC 7) do not support this. T

Answer 1

They are part of the C++ standard, see for instance this StackOverflow answer (which quotes the relevant parts of the standard).

Another answer in the same question mentions how to do the opposite: make them work in MSVC.

To disable them in GCC, use -fno-operator-names. Note that, by doing so, you are in fact switching to a non-standard dialect of C++, and there is a risk that you end up writing code which might not compile correctly on standard-compliant compilers (for instance, if you declare a variable with a name that would normally be reserved).
