Hello all,
I just wondering if the following is supported in C:
inline char* myfunc(unsigned int aLen, char *aFormat, ...)
Thanks

inline is only supported in C99 (though some pre-C99 compilers may
support it as an extension). Other than that, I don't see any problem
with it.

As for ... (ellipse) that refers to variable argument lists, yes that
is also supported in almost all compilers. (Haven't seen any C compiler
not supporting it).

All C compilers support it, in that any compiler that does not
support it is not a C compiler.

That feature has been in the language since the 1989 ANSI standard
(equivalent to the 1990 ISO standard). It's almost certainly no
longer necessary to worry about old compilers that don't support at
least that standard.

Unless it's a pre-ansi one. The compiler on unix v7 didn't have variadic
arguments.

At least not in their current form. Before ANSI introduced
<stdarg.h>, there was a <varargs.h> header which could be used to
implement things like printf(); some systems still support it.
(Unless Unix V7 predates printf().)

v7 did not use macros to implement printf - it used messy pointer
arithmetic directly.

Looks ok if you're using a c99 compliant compiler for the /inline/ bit.
However, you do know that on 'inline': it's just necessary for a compiler to
*not* produce a syntax error when it sees it, i.e., as long as it recognises
the keyword, it doesn't have to pay it any further attention.

Hi,
I'm having problems completing a project in C++. I have been using inline
functions in some of my header files. I have only done so for simple
functions that only have 1 statement (eg. accessor and mutator methods to
access private data members). I would like to know if there are any issues
with using inline functions that may have attributed to my errors before I
start separting them out into "outline functions".

I want to ask about the real usefulness of the 'inline' keyword. I've read
many authors (and it's my belief, too) who discourage the use of the
'inline' keyword, because:
- The 'inline' word only advice the compiler about wich functions should be
expanded, but not force it to expand them. Also, the compiler can...

Greetings everyone,
I wrote a function to learn about variable-length argument lists. I
wonder if there is a better way to detect the end of the argument list
than using a sentinel value like the one I am using (NULL in this
example) or an argument count parameter (ugh).
The following function concatenates a series of C-style strings. I am
aware of the fact that not allocating enough memory for `dst` results
in UB (gave me a...

Hi,
If I define an inline function in one .c file, and use it from another,
after compiling and linking the two, it seems the function is not
inlined but rather called as a regular function. I would expect to see
it inlined during linkage of the two object files. Does inlining only
occur if the inline function is defined within the same file that it is
called?
Thanks,

Let's say we have a variable length argument list function like so:
unsigned GetAverage(unsigned a, unsigned b, ...);
I wonder does the compiler go through the code looking for invocations of
the function, and from there, treat it sort of like a template function?
For instance, if we had a template function like so:
template<class T>
T GetAverage(T a, T b);

When writing C99 code is a reasonable recommendation to use inline
functions instead of macros?
What sort of things is it still reasonable to do using macros? For
example, is it reasonable to write type generic functions macros?
#define CUBE(I) ( (I) * (I) * (I) )
Is there some more concise set of things where inline functions should
be used instead of macros? Multi-statement macros, for example?
