i accidentally used the new implicit constructors for aggregates in c++ the other day, and then my code didn't compile with the version of clang i have installed on my cellphone

LOL. What used to be a typo is now becoming valid syntax (and of course the compiler can't warn you because it's now valid). Ouch. At least an old compiler saved you...

Tbh this is why you need to set the C++ std version when you compile. Don't just assume the default for the compiler but hard lock it at a specific version so you can know which compilers you can support and compilers can warn you if you use new features.

i set it to c++20 on purpose, i just didn't know the feature existed (and didn't know that my clang didn't support that feature; i'm a little uncertain as to whether my clang is an outdated version without full c++20 support, or whether gcc is implementing a proposed extension that didn't actually make it in)
