Re: Question on Data Type Declarations

I think some did. There were shreds of some interesting tests in perl
back then, and some barely-ANSI or pre-ANSI compilers definitely had,
say, void, but not support for prototypes. Or partial support for void.
I seem to recall that there were some that handled "void foo()", and a
few that knew about "void *".

If you hate it so much, maybe you should just go use something else?
Boy, that sure would be a lot easier if the function definition had the
contract right next to the code.
Woah.
Not to mention a gaping, vast, violation of the spec.
Why, yes.
There's no difference in representation, just in what you're allowed to

No, declaring "float x;" does much more than just telling the compiler
that x should occupy sizeof(float) bytes. It affects every operation
that you can perform on x. It doesn't just provide hints; it provides
information that the compiler is obligated to pay close attention to.
To put it another way, the number of bytes occupied by x is just one

No, but note that BOTH case sensitivity, and case sensitivity, have
problems as regards internationalization!
Case sensitivity doesn't apply to languages without case. Languages
without letters (symbols for sounds) don't have case. Oops, wait a
minute. What about Chinese, used for writing by billions of people?

This question is for the group including Fat Bastard (Richard
Heathfield), who has been readmitted owing to his const comment.
Seebach is also readmitted conditional on good behavior because of his
knowledge of C standards (not "the" standard).
Fat Bastard has pointed out that string parameters should be const

We already pointed that out -- but you seem not to understand how
a dictionary works. That gives you that one of many meanings has a
particular word, one of the many meanings of which is the meaning
you were asserting.
Either you're schizoprhenic, you're lying, or you have NO idea how to
use a dictionary. I can't tell which.

One of the problems with case insensitivity is what happens if you allow
non-ascii letters into file names?
Here's a directory:
/var/www/canal/source/temp$ ls
SS ß
Should a case insensitive system treat those two files the same?

I've taken that approach. I happily use C99 features that I like and
can make use of (// comments, VLAs from time to time (for workspaces in
functions mainly) snprintf and so on). I've taken the view that enough
compilers support these well enough, and they are valuable additions to
the language, that I'm prepared to accept the restrictions in

You fucking asshole, why do I have to wade through your libel for
this? OK, we KNOW that const makes code not design to change the
parameter simpler. It's handled better, jerk face, in C Sharp using
value and reference calling. You have contributed a genuine
improvement, but you've not identified a mistake. You've merely
