Following the link to "C++ Keywords", you get the page with all keywords.
That page has the following line at the top:

"Keywords are predefined reserved identifiers that have special meanings.
They cannot be used as identifiers in your program. The following keywords
are reserved for Microsoft C++. Names with leading underscores are Microsoft
extensions."
