Variable substitution

Hello,

I found that in "glibc" there is a function to perform variable
substitution.
It start with $.

By digging inside the code of "glibc" I can't find how it's done.

Has someone already written such function ?
For an old BC3.1 it will be fine.

Thanks.

What is "glibc"? If you are referring to the GNU compiler library, it
is off-topic here. Try one of the news:gnu.gcc.* groups.
It start with $.
Nothing in the standard C language starts with $. The character is
not in either the source or execution basic C character set.

....and what the heck is "variable substitution"? It is not a C term.
What exactly do you think it means?

I'm working on a project where I need to store a CGI query in a database field. The query contains variables which will be substitued at runtime (e.g., today's date, key to select upon, etc), and may be pointed to different URLs depending upon the table key. The variable substitution works fine when hardcoding into the script, e.g.: $var1='data1';

I am trying to learn iSQL*Plus for the 1Z0-007 exam. I am having a bit of problems with the substitution variables. My understanding was that they behave as in SQL*Plus, but my experiments beg to differ.

I have a form with five rows of text boxes, displaying data. For certain reasons, I can't bind these directly to data records, so I'm using code to load the data into an object, then manually get each field value and assign it to each text box.

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: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
