That doesn't matter if features you're able to used are gated on the standard you use. If the standard you choose is based on what your target platforms 'support': no inline for you.

Inline was added in C99, which MSVC still doesn't support entirely. If this has to be taken into account when you choose what standard to use for your codebase, that's a quarter of a century trickle down for features to reach the

Fundamentally, I think you are correct, however my English-second-language friends/colleagues tend to write better English when it's in a structured fashion - like a commit message or in documentation - than they do colloquially.

Look at how that same argument fails to apply to suicide statistics being reduced by removing access to guns or falls from bridges. You're trying to apply a logical train of thought to an inherently illogical act of homicide. But even

That's a poor comparison though. Both of the others provide other benefits: a method of commuting to school or exercise. Potentially even scholarships. Fashionable backpacks do nothing.
