Ah don’t worry, if you do fopen(file, "w") on Windows and forget to use "wb" flag, it will automatically replace all your \n with \r\n when you do fwrite, then you will try to debug for half a day your corrupted jpeg file, which totally never happened to me because I’m an experienced C++ developer who can never make such a novice mistake.

It depends on whether you are printing to a terminal or to a file (and yes the terminal is also a file), and even then you can control the flushing behaviour using something like unbuffer

printf is superior and more concise, and snprintf is practically the only C string manipulation function that is not painful to use.

Try to print a 32-bit unsigned int as hexadecimal number of exactly 8 digits, using cout. You can do std::hex and std::setw(8) and std::setfill('0') and don’t forget to use std::dec afterwards, or you can just, you know, printf("%08x") like a sane person.

Just don’t forget to use -Werror=format but that is the default option on many compilers today.

C++23 now includes std::print which is exactly like printf but better, so the whole argument is over.

Synchronous translators are still very much in demand, as well as technical and legal translators.

Sometimes I’m searching for a recipe to some obscure Linux tool and finding my own answers on Stackoverflow from ten years ago.

As long as your byte consists of 8 bits.

Eh, who is still using paper books to learn programming languages? Every popular language has a website with online manuals.

Well, except C, because it’s crammed together with C++ on https://cplusplus.com/ and https://cppreference.com/

And socks just grow organically after 3 years of coding.

1. Type letter ‘c’ using the text tool, as you’ve already done
2. Create a new layer from text
3. Duplicate layer
4. Transform - flip horizontally
5. Merge two layers

It’s a basic GIMP knowledge, really. Don’t forget to add an alpha channel to your layer after step 2, otherwise it won’t work.
