C++11 - any built-in support for binary literals?

[LB]

I've done some googling and as far as I can tell, I would have to write my own literal suffix operator to achieve a binary literal. I just wanted to check to be sure there isn't already one in the standard C++11 libraries (not another library like boost).

What do you mean by binary literal?

[vlad from moscow]

No, C++ has no binary literals.

@vlad OK, thanks.

@naraku in Java 7, for example:
int TheNumberSeventeen = 0b10001;
Even in Google if you type "17 to binary" it uses that notation.

In C++, it would have to be a suffix notation; something like 111010_b or 10111_B

The plus point (always a plus point in C++) is that the idea of literals is extensible; we can have literals for user defined types as well.
