Aug 19, 2017 at 12:45 comment added user15259 @ChristianSievers - Can be used for a read-only hardware register — const prevents writing to it, which in some cases might have unintended effects, while volatile ensures no optimizations are done with respect to accessing it.
Aug 18, 2017 at 9:42 comment added Christian Sievers So what about volatile const? I can guess a useful interpretation that it might have, but I don't know if it is correct.

Apr 6, 2015 at 19:36 comment added Joe Z. As a developer who began with C myself (before moving to Python, and not counting Visual Basic), I can confirm that Haskell freaks me out.

Introduction and length 51 snippet.
Jan 26, 2015 at 18:42 comment added user15259 @Jasen - I guess it depends on distribution. In gcc, no macros in <stdio.h>. Too many problems with macros, in particular address of to use in callbacks.
Jan 26, 2015 at 18:36 comment added user15259 @Quentin - I wonder if you can set it to an op-code for RETN, e.g. main=195; for Intel x86, and have it return without error? It's still one character more than main(){}!
Jan 24, 2015 at 5:33 comment added Jasen #18 puts is a macro defined in stdio.h fputs deosn't require a header.
Jan 22, 2015 at 22:11 comment added Quentin For #8 : the shortest compilable and linkable program is actually main;, which however crashes at runtime.
Jan 22, 2015 at 14:50 comment added user15259 Thank you. Just letting what I wrote pass public opinion before I continue. Also looking at the C99 exception handling which almost everyone ignores!

Example corrected thanks to user19057.
Jan 20, 2015 at 22:52 comment added user19057 "A common newbie error is to omit the second group of brackets, resulting in hard-to-find operator precedence errors." It might be worth noting that your example still does not have enough brackets. You've protected against things like 2*C(2,2) but not things like C(2+0,2).

Jan 19, 2015 at 20:08 comment added feersum Wrt #7, gcc will not automatically return 0; usually you get some garbage value.
Jan 19, 2015 at 20:06 comment added feersum If you have a large project and consider multiple compilers, it can be quite futile to try to eliminate all warnings.
