CPP Sample Files
C++ (.cpp) source files compile to native binaries, offering performance and low-level memory control with features like templates, operator overloading, and the STL. Use sample .cpp files to test compiler flags, code formatting, and linking workflows.

# Compare output with SHA256 values listed above.Where is the machine-readable manifest?
Use the manifest when you need stable names, SHA256 values, and URLs for automation.
Use in code — curl, Python, Node, wget
Copy any snippet directly into scripts, test suites, or CI pipelines. All URLs are stable and publicly accessible with no auth required.

- Validate syntax-highlight pipelines and file-type detection.
- Test parser robustness for larger source samples.
- Confirm linting/formatting tools handle encoding correctly.
