Elephant this. I'm off to the CP bug reports.
I just made a new post, clicked on the edit your sig, changed it. First post okay. Second post back to my old sig. Something is broken.

I'm pretty sure that that is by design: you change your sig via the Username dropdown "My Settings" and selecting the "Forums and QA" tab.
The one on the "Message" page is a temporary change.
Temporary change!

OG is correct, permanent changes only in your settings.
Message composition changes is only for that very message.

I temporarily abandoned SVG processing in favor of TinyVG. I'm not done with it. The specification document for the file format is atrocious so I'm looking at the code.
But the code they provide is in Zig and although that will interface with native C, my embedded toolchains don't support Zig.
So C++ it is. Lots of porting. Zig is Rusty. That is to say, somewhat Rustish, syntactically. I don't care for it. Particularly I don't like the exception handling. Ugh. What is wrong with try catch?
And local functions (functions nested in functions) are annoying. Remind me never to use those in C# either.
I don't get why people would produce a potential standard using a newish language that hasn't really matriculated or cemented itself among developers yet.
Providing a C or even C# reference implementation would get a lot more mileage, IMO, just because more people know it, and what happens if Zig never catches on like happens to so many new languages?

Many have tried to find a better C then C but C and C++ are so embedded in embedded that it will be almost impossible to unembed them.
Although I kinda like Rust, it's not well enough established yet to make it to production.
ZIG is interesting but I don't think it will take off.
Plus I found years ago that most developers are not willing to learn another language for day-to-day work and with the way that code is currently developed I can't say as I blame them.
If it ain't broke don't fix it.

Zig is neat, but "neat" doesn't deliver.

I once was in a large shop that used C exclusively and I was asked to rewrite a huge project, I did it in C++ and the manage called in a associate that I was friendly with and she asked him; "Does he know what he's doing?"
The project got completed and worked great.

C++ has really endeared itself to me over the past few years. Before that I was kind of favoring C#, because for all its power, C++ can be really stodgy and finicky.
That being said, embedded kind of forced me back to it, and using it regularly again has smoothed out the rough edges for me, better than ever before, so I'm proficient and productive with it.
Well, not the STL. I'm so rusty with that, because I don't use it with embedded. Frankly I stick to the C standard libraries mostly, because they're more consistent implementationwise platform to platform on embedded. I'm pretty good with the language features though, and reimplementing basic STL functionality as I need it.

I agree, I also have been using it since doing embedded. I'm starting to use it on the STM32 platform now and really liking it. To me using C is like going back to black and white after seeing color. C++ just has so much more to offer.
I won't say I'm proficient using C++ but am picking it up as I go. Don't have any project to really challenge my skills and so I only use the basics.
I've never used STL so I don't miss it.
