// Detecting the standard library version manually using a bunch of shell commands is very
// complicated and fragile across different platforms. This program provides the major version
// of the standard library on any target platform without requiring any messy work.
//
// It's nothing more than specifying the name of the standard library implementation (either libstdc++ or libc++)
// and its major version.

// Since we use the major version from _GLIBCXX_RELEASE, we need to extract only the first 2 characters of _LIBCPP_VERSION
