That's if you want to write in GNU C++ and don't care about writing
standard C++ code.

BUT IMHO, the default should be to use the standard C++, not a set of extensions
GCC permits.
In any case, that does not work well.
drkirkby@hawk:~$ cat test.cc
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {

cout << a;

I don't have an official copy of the latest standard, but I don't believe 0b is
anything other than a GNU extension.

Even if there were no
GNU extensions at all, one would usually need to think about this, as
the differences between various standard dialects are significant.
[Even by default, though, g++ is of vastly _vastly_ more
standards-conforming than, e.g., Microsoft's C++ compiler...]

I use gcc a lot, but I'm not impressed with it.
