Which is the textbook definition of taking out of context.
Not my fault if that confused you.

In fact the post you are referring to is:
"...Even some completely standard-legal C89 won't compile as C++,
such as:
char *str = "hello";
(which is 100% valid standard C, but not valid C++.)"
Wherein the first line says "it won't compile as C++", and the last line
says "not valid C++".
A human being would read both, and understand that the message here is
about legal vs. not-legal C++, rather than questioning if some compiler
actually accepts the code fragment. This, considering that even the
first statement (the "won't compile" part) is counterpoised to the first
part of the same phrase, which clearly says that the matter is about
"standard-legal" C or C++.
This is for as human beings go. Then, there are the nitpickers.
