zig: Use Zig as a drop-in C++ compiler.
$ zig c++ ${filename-cpp}
try on your machine
The command "zig c++ ${filename-cpp}" is used to compile and build a C++ source file using the "zig" command-line compiler.
Here is a breakdown of the command:
- "zig": Refers to the "zig" compiler, which is a general-purpose programming language.
- "c++": Specifies that the file being compiled is a C++ source file. This tells the compiler to treat the code as C++ code and apply the appropriate language rules and standards.
- "${filename-cpp}": Indicates the name of the file to be compiled. This is usually a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual filename before executing the command. The "${filename-cpp}" notation is common in scripting or command-line environments to represent a variable or a value to be substituted.
Overall, when you replace "${filename-cpp}" with the actual name of your C++ source file, this command will compile and build the C++ code using the "zig" compiler.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
