Keyword Abuse

slides:none on file

Explores how many C++ keywords can appear in a row and still form valid code, using cppreference.com and compiler error messages as experimentation tools. Chains like unsigned long int gain a few keywords, CV and C++11/14/17 qualifiers add more, and odd tokens like bitand help, but qualifiers are not idempotent and things like thread_local drop validity — hitting about ten before discovering that repeating sizeof arbitrarily makes the count unbounded: aleph-null.
