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

The words are standard in C++ without the inclusion of any header.

The words are standard in C if you include the header .

MSVC is doing you no service by not supporting the standards.

You could, however, use tools to enforce the non-use of the keywords. And it can be a coding guideline, and you can quickly train your team not to make silly portability mistakes. It isn't that hard to avoid the problem.
