# observation
```
echo -e '#include <unistd.h>\nint main() { char buffer[2] = "hi"; write(STDOUT_FILENO, buffer, 2); }' > test.c
zig cc test.c
./a.out
mv test.c test.c++
zig c++ test.c++
```
This compiles fine in C, but is a hard error in C++:
> test.c++:2:31: error: initializer-string for char array is too long, array size is 2 but initializer has size 3 (including the null terminating character)
Forcing people to change to {'h','i'} or cursed casts everywhere reduces readability.
# expectation
Make this a work like in C, or add a specific flag like -Wno-initializer-string-too-long.
