Hello!

I'm pleased to say that I've finished reading Dick Heathfield's
data-structures chapter in _C Unleashed_. I've been considering
tearing out the pages of this chapter and doing my part for the
environment by recycling them, but I've started using _C Unleashed_
for my bicep curls and don't wish to compromise on workout load.

Do you really think a single book provides enough weight for proper workout
paraphernalia? You must be a real weakling; oh well.

I quite agree, and this particular troll is vaguely amusing too. I was
just trying to highlight vippstar's constant hypocrisy.

My suspicion is that he's been set up by Nilges. Not a sock-puppet - the
vocabularly is different - but an ally.

I doubt it. The idea of Mr Nilges having allies is just too improbable.

No, I think the OP is just a run of the mill bozo - or, at least, he's
behaving like one.

I think he's a bit higher-class than just run of the mill.
The bits I read before I killfiled him seemed to indicate that there
was some intelligence and cleverness there that, if he applied them to
making a positive contribution instead of trolling, would be more than
enough to gain quite a bit of respect around here.
(Of course, intelligent and clever trolls are still trolls, and paying
attention to trolls is generally a waste of everybody's time.)

Bug/Gross InEfficiency in HeathField's fgetline program

by: Antoninus Twink | last post by:

The function below is from Richard HeathField's fgetline program. For some reason, it makes three passes through the string (a strlen(), a strcpy() then another pass to change dots) when two would clearly be sufficient. This could lead to unnecessarily bad performance on very long strings. It is also written in a hard-to-read and clunky style....
