First,
it seems kind of rude, to me, to post the question elsewhere, and expect
someone reading the message here to follow a link to find the real question.
ak*******@gmail .com said: hi,
i'd a question abt taking the difference between two pointers.
for eg:
if you have 2 char pointers pointing to members of an array, you advance one
till you encounter a space then take the difference between the two,
will give the correct length of the string irrespective of whether char is represented
by 2 bytes (like in unicode)??
Second, by definition, char is always 1 byte; there are no exceptions. (A byte
may be larger than 8-bits, but sizeof(char) is always equal to 1).
Third, if you're using Unicode, then the functions in ctype.h (like
isspace) are
insufficient.
i believe it would give the correct length, because the compiler is
responsible for scaling the difference when one advances a pointer to
point to the next element like ptr++, or is it that pointer difference is not pointer
arithmetic and we need to scale it??
I'm not sure what you mean by scaling, but, assuming that all pointers are
valid, and you don't run off the end of an array, etc.:
If you increment the pointer x times, then (end - start) == x.
eg problem:
Orig string - char *s;
Ptrs, char *start = s, *end = s;
int length;
while(*end != isspace(*end))
ITYM: while(!isspace( (unsigned char)*end))
* end++;
length = end - start;
is this mentioned somewhere in the c std?? if so could someone pt me in the
right direction.
Thanks.

In another thread, a poster mentioned the Posix ssize_t definition
(signed version of size_t). My initial reaction was to wonder what the
point of the Posix definition was when ptrdiff_t was already defined as
such.
I got the idea that ptrdiff_t had to be the same size as size_t from
Plauger's "The Standard C Library," where he states "... It is always
the signed type that has the same number of bits as the4 unsigned type

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,...
