Compilation

# All modules (C++20 — backward compatible with C++17 content):
g++ -std=c++20 -Wall -Wextra -Wpedantic -Wshadow -Wconversion \
    <file>.cpp -o output

# C++23 files (module_03/06_cpp23_features.cpp):
g++ -std=c++23 -Wall -Wextra -Wpedantic -Wshadow -Wconversion \
    <file>.cpp -o output

# Concurrency files (add -pthread):
# module_06/01, module_06/05, module_06/09, module_07/03,
# module_07/04, module_08/04, module_11/04, module_11/05
g++ -std=c++20 ... -pthread <file>.cpp -o output

# fork() example (POSIX only — Linux/macOS):
g++ -std=c++20 -pthread module_07_under_the_hood/03_fork_vs_thread_pool.cpp -o fork_demo

All 114 .cpp source files compile with 0 warnings, 0 errors using the strict flags above (except 06_cpp23_features.cpp which requires -std=c++23).
