The C++ build process is roughly as thus:

All .cpp (and possibly .c) files are compiled:
1. First the preprocessor processes the file, it (as required):
  - Parses and processes all #defined macros, storing their definitions in a symbol table (a string to string dictionary).
  - Parses and processes all #if, #elif and #endif macros, thus performing conditional compilation.
  - Parses and processes all #included header (.h) files, which includes inserting the contents of the header file into the point at which it was #included (or performs a process that achieves the equivalent effect).
  - Parses and processes all #pragmas, implementing their compiler-specific behaviour.
    - Note that the most common and widely supported #pragma is #pragma once, which acts as an alternative to include guards.

Other #pragma examples include #pragma omp, which implements 'Open Multi-Processing'

Programming Sins

Magic numbers
- Constants with a specific meaning should be clearly named
- Possible exceptions include:
  - 0, 1 and 2 where usage is unambiguous
  - arguably the shift and mask values when doing bitshifting and masking
Single-letter variables names
- With the possible exceptions of:
x and y for coordinates

Ordinarily if you are kicked out of the Mages Guild you must talk to the Arch-Mage to be reinstated. Later in the quest line you can become the Arch-Mage by killing the previous Arch-Mage. If you are then expelled from the guild after having become the Arch-Mage by killing the former Arch-Mage then you can no longer be reinstated into the guild because there will no longer be an Arch-Mage to talk to.

Adding the `constinit` keyword

#BAD!

$('.link').on('click', _ => $('.link').attr('href', $('.link').attr('href').replace(/#.+/,'')));

#GOOD!

const link = $('.link');

link.on('click', _ => link.attr('href', link.attr('href').replace(/#.+/, ''));

They are not inherently off-topic

It is a common misconception that questions "requesting code" are off-topic. Usually these people express their opinion with the following line:

We are not a code writing service

Yes we are. We write code. We do it all the time. People ask questions, we write code. This is not the only thing we do, but we do write code, and we are a service. So yes, we are a code writing service. Sorry to burst your bubble.
