What it is
The page is an iceberg-style list of C++ oddities. The author is not named on the page. It invites suggestions on GitHub.
What it says
- The page lists short titles of C++ gotchas, including an entry titled vector<bool> is broken.
- Entries range over syntax quirks such as the most vexing parse and the --> operator.
- Some entries make design claims in their titles, such as iostream was a mistake.
What evidence it gives
The page offers titles only. The text read contained no code, no arguments and no sources.
Interests and limits
Only the page's list of titles was read; the linked explanations were not opened. The page names no author or date. Each title is a claim that the page itself does not back up.
