Hello, just an announcement to say that I have killfiled
some people here (well, not really). I won't see their posts
(well, not really). I won't be replying to them, but I will
be replying to them by way of others' posts, mainly because
of the weakness of my psychological constitution and
my overall lack of self-discipline.
To work the charade properly, I'll go out of my way to
drop /seemingly/ oblique hints that I'm totally unaware of
what these people are saying. It will be almost as if I
feel the need to offer compelling evidence that I have
in fact killfiled these people. Alas, the lady doth protest
too much. Reminds me of what Donald Trump said about George
Bush when the latter was claiming not to listen to what
people were saying about him on TV: nobody's ego is that
strong. People are naturally curious.
Let's face it: From birth, we ISO C coders got the short
straw from the whole Will to Power thing. All our lives
we've watched jocks bang the hotties. We've been relegated
to the fringes of society as freaks, geeks, nerds. We've
received wedgies. We're victims of a kind of social abuse.
We were drawn to computer programming as compensation for a
lack of control and power in the world, and through our
chest-thumping about killfiles and through our C nitpicking,
we feel some sort of triumph, the only triumph we've ever
known.
My fellow CLC posters, we weep together.
Yours,
Han from China

I beg to differ.
Money was in my mailbox today; honeys were sending me their pictures; I
bought fortran 2003 by Dick Hendrickson et ali; and now I'm gonna go out
and make myself a public nuisance.
Did I mention that we're a day closer to restoring constitutional
democracy?

Hi,
I have been reading the article at
http://www.crockford.com/javascript/private.html
and I was wondering if there also was some way to be able to have
private methods that can be called from public methods, but not from
outside.
Just throwing an exception if a private method was called from outside
would be sufficient, but I don't know how to determine if the method was
called from outside. Anyone else thought about doing this?

Returning int pointer ?

No, it's impossible to say.
If your target system is a pre-C99 implementation, only 6 significant
characters, case insensitive, are guaranteed in external identifiers.
For all we know, your implementation may see two functions named
"create()".

Hey, guys.
I noticed plenty of people feel the need to update me
on the status of their killfile every time my nom de

I'm using. (I'm admittedly a bit of a coward and don't
want to be executed by my government or by members of
the CLC Squad.)

Oh, fair enough. I'd overlooked that explanation. I see that what you've
described is basically a form of interprocess communication in a multi-threaded
Usenet environment. Since some of the people here are apparently on the ANSI
committee, this could spell good things for the C language. I encourage them
to continue.
FWIW, I'd like to signal to everyone here that I've stopped reading
J. K. Rowling.

Actually, that's wrong. This group is for ISO C; comp.std.c is for
discussing the standard itself.
And this is the point where you enter the killfile.

And this is, of course, also not right. fseek() does support
SEEK_END on text streams.
If you want to know why, please start a thread on comp.lang.c.
