Strictly interpreting true, but grandparent's point is very valid.

It's used everywhere in real life C++ code.

quotemstr got a very good point and I'm grateful for the heads up.

but memcpy outside the C++ scope is what I meant. The C++ committee cannot do much about memcpy but they can introduce a new memcpy with a different name that has better ub support.

The C++ committee can and does change how functions of the C standard library work in C++, see Appendix C of the C++ Standard (granted, most of those changes simply specify how the library functions interact with C++ features).

C++ is not 100% compatible with C.
