Although I rarely if ever have a problem with scope, I was wondering
whether anybody knows of good reference, (book, web page, etc), that
covers scope rules. Hopefully this will be helpful to others.

You mean like "Always keep the scope of the name as tight as possible"?
Or do you mean like "overloadin g only relates to functions in the same
scope" and the related "derived class scope is tighter than the base
class scope (and included in it)"?

A rule of thumb would be:
An object exists from the point of its definition, until the next
closing brace. (Unless it's static of course).
If you define an object within a "for" loop as follows:
for(int i;;) {}
Then its scope is as if you wrote:
{
int i;
for(;;) {}
}

All of those points would be nice, with examples demonstrating the how
and the why. Perhaps I should create some web pages on scope covering
class, namespace, code scope, and any others you'd like to suggest.
Thanks for your response, and no doubt you could think of countless
examples.

I have a few questions about "scope" and "visibility," which seem like
two different things.
To me "visibility" of the name of a function or object is the actual
code that can use it in an actual program.
To me "scope" of the name of a function or object are the general rules
for the areas of a program that can through a declaration, have
"visibility."

are the following rules correct in C89/C90?
----
SCOPE RULES
1) the scope of an identifier declared inside a block is the block in
which it is declared;
2) when you have nested blocks (extern block and internal block), an
identifier declared in the external block is known also in the internal
block, while an identifier declared in the internal block is not known

Dear all,
Is there a clear distinction how to decide which functions to be
members of a class and which not
How is your attitude (Your general way from your experiences ...)
"If the function changes the state of the object, it ought to be a
member of that object." Reference Accelerated C++, A. Koenig, page 159.

If find the following excerpt from the Standard a bit confusing:
<quote>
3.3.6 - Class scope
-1- The following rules describe the scope of names declared in classes.
1) The potential scope of a name declared in a class consists not only of
the declarative region following the name's declarator, but also of all
function bodies, default arguments, and constructor ctor-initializers in
that class (including such things in nested classes).

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,...
