I couldn't stop myself from trying:
=======
mjuric@gamont:~/test$ cat x.cpp
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
const char *经度 = "Hello";
const char *纬度 = "World";
std::cout << 经度 << " " << 纬度 << std::endl;
return 0;
}
mjuric@gamont:~/test$ clang++ -v
Apple LLVM version 5.0 (clang-500.2.79) (based on LLVM 3.3svn)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin13.1.0
Thread model: posix
mjuric@gamont:~/test$ clang++ x.cpp
mjuric@gamont:~/test$ ./a.out
Hello World
=======
I'm amazed :).
(but, no, we're not allowed to use it :)).
