And here's the non-C construct.

>is anything wrong with this program???

Yes. There is no 'new' in C.
The above line causes a memory leak (except for the problem that it
shouldn't compile in the first place). You have allocated memory
and then throw away the last pointer to it.

re: will this work??

does it matters if its c or c++??
ok consider it as c++..:)

You need to provide context when posting a followup. Don't assume
that your readers have seen the parent article. See
<http://cfaj.freeshell.org/google/>. (The Google bug originally
described on that page has been corrected. so there's no excuse.)
This is comp.lang.c; we don't discuss C++ here. Finding a newsgroup
where they do is left as an exercise.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Syntax error. No reason to go further (unless it's to comp.lang.c++
where they may like this C syntax error).
^^^^^^^^^
I hope your C compiler is one for C99, else this is a syntax error.
^^^^^^^^
Using a variadic function with no prototype in scope is a naughty thing
to do.

how to program in Algol, Fortran, or Cobol either.

re: will this work??

hijkl said:
Yes. It won't compile as C90, as C99, or even (off-topically) as C++.

My suggestions? (a) decide on a language, and then (b) learn it.

OK, That is not an authoritative source. Finding the authoritative

[ ... ]The intention in warning the poster was a genuine interest in help him
reach the maximum possible audience for his posts, since many
otherwise potentially helpful posters ignore, or post unhelpful
replies, to posts containing such "abbreviations." I any case it
wasn't meant as an attempt at demonstrating pedanticism.

<snip>No, he didn't. We were discussing English, not Latin. (He is, however,
correct that 'et cetera' comprises two words rather than one.)
It's 'pedantry', not 'pedanticism'. :-)

There is a regular poster who advised a certain researcher at Bell
labs about what is topical in clc. There were a lot of people who were
humor impaired and the resulting flames were very colorful.
