what is the upper limit on the number of parameters to a function in C ?
what is the mechanism by which parameters are passed in C, for instance thru registers or stack.Obviously both are limited.

It's implementation-dependent. The Standard requires the limit to be at
least 127.

The behavior of parameter passing must conform to the Standard's
description, but the implementation is unspecified.

The standard doesn't tell us.

No problem: the caller might write them on the disk and the callee might
read them from the disk. The standard certainly allows such an
implementation.

Hi, :)
The preg_replace function...
preg_replace(pattern, replacement, subject )
How on earth do you get the limit value to work with arrays?
In my code both the pattern and replacement parameters are arrays and I
only want a specified number of replacements to occur.

I am having trouble with the objectCategory=group member.Count attribute.
I get one of three counts, a number between 1-999, no member (does not
contain member property), or 0. Using LDIFDE as a comparison I get the same
results. No members means just that, an empty group. Zero means that the
DirectorySearcher.SizeLimit has been exceeded....

My problem: I need to call (from C code) an arbitrary C library
function, but I don't know until runtime what the function name is,
how many parameters are required, and what the parameters are. I can
use dlopen/whatever to convert the function name into a pointer to
that function, but actually calling it, with the right number of
parameters, isn't easy.
As far as I can see, there are only two solutions:
1) This one is portable. If...

So, it appears that Javascript has a recursion limit of about 1000
levels on FF, maybe less/more on other browsers.
Should such deep recursion then generally be avoided in Javascript?
Surprisingly, deep recursion actually isn't that slow for what I'm
doing. Programming this task recursively is so much more
straightforward to me, but currently I'm forced to use an ugly hack to
avoid going over the 1000 level limit. Of course, it could...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
