In her first sentence, the phrase “the C / C++ programming language” is no longer correct: C++20 requires two’s complement signed integers.

C++ 20 is quite new so I would assume that very few people know this yet.

C and C++ obviously differ a lot, but by that phrase she clearly means “the part where then two languages overlap”. The C++ committee has been willing to break C compatibility in a few ways (not every valid C program is a valid C++ program), and this has been true for a while.
