Hi...
I am relativ new to the impressive and powerfull C language, but i
thinks it is obsolete...
The idea with header/source files where methods can clash into
eachother i don't like... Look at C# which is much cleaner with
namespaces.
Why has C not namespaces and a "area idea" where some methods and
fields could be hidden from the outside?
Something like:
a_source_file.c:
namespace SomeName(.SomeName)
{
area Stack
{
private int[] myStack;
private void someMethod() {};
public void push(int i) {};
public int pop() {};
}
}
another_source_file.c:
using SomeName(.SomeName);
int main(int argc, char[] *argv)
{
Stack.push(10);
System.printf(Stack.pop());
}
I'm really annoyed ;) Is im the only own with that point of view?
If i was a really good programmer (which i'm not... yet! ;)) i would
developed a compiler and a much more simple (but still impressive and
powerfull) c...
Best and kindest regards

Please read about the "static" storage qualifier, and about "file scope".

I'm not sure what you mean by that. No, you shouldn't eliminate header
files. C++ has what you want with namespaces. What is "still recommended,
right"?

I don't think there is a practical way to write large C or C++
programs without using header files. If you want to avoid header
files entirely, you'll need to move to something like C# or Java.

Since C doesn't have methods, the problem doesn't arise.

nobody forcing me - no, but in some cases C is a wonderfull
language.... don't get me wrong... i don't hate the language... it is
infact one of my favourites but i think some things could be done
better... i think it has some things there issent nessesary in modern
languages... for example header files...
hhm... it is correct that nobody is stopping me, but i stops myself...

A) Stop ending all of your statements with ellipses and question marks.
B) I don't think it works well in other languages; it's much nicer to
read a header to find the prototype of a function than to have to
find the definition, or documentation, or wherever else you might

C# has namespaces, usings, classes
C has includes + some other things

uses it

I'd second both points.
I've been doing a lot of PHP recently, and it is a real pain not having
a header like summary of an object's member functions. So much so, I
end up creating interfaces as a header replacement.

Simple, as i said, namespaces and usings so instead of:

you write

So what's the difference in typing a few includes or the equivalent
using directives?
with includes you risk that the files have functions there have the same name.
with includes you shall write "ifndef __FILE_H__" otherwise you could
end up in trouble.

A) Stop ending all of your statements with ellipses and question marks.
B) I don't think it works well in other languages; it's much nicer to
read a header to find the prototype of a function than to have to
find the definition, or documentation, or wherever else you might
find help.
I'd second both points.
I've been doing a lot of PHP recently, and it is a real pain not having
a header like summary of an object's member functions. So much so, I
end up creating interfaces as a header replacement.
Maybe you should try a better IDE... with the Visual Studio and ASP.net

Hi...
I am relativ new to the impressive and powerfull C language, but i thinks
it is obsolete...
The idea with header/source files where methods can clash into eachother i
don't like... Look at C# which is much cleaner with namespaces.
Why has C not namespaces and a "area idea" where some methods and fields
could be hidden from the outside?
It does: static methods are hidden to the world outside the file in which
they are defined.

It's becoming obvious that whatever it is that you want, it isn't C. I
suggest that you identify the language you do want, and then find a
suitable place to discuss it (it won't be here.)

[It is very clear that Lasse is talking about objects in the
C# sense here.]
[Richard Heathfield continued:]
Then C is the wrong place to look. C has objects. So does C++, so it's no
good looking there, either.
While C does have objects, its definition (``object: a
region of data storage in the execution environment, the contents
of which can represent values'', C90/C99 3.14) is totally
different from that of C# which was the context of this subthread
(``The object class type is the ultimate base class of all other
types. Every type in C# directly or indirectly derives from the
object class type'', ECMA-334 11.2.2).
By comparing C objects with C# objects, one is making a
faulty analogy (also known as ``comparing apples with oranges'').
Better is to write that C# is off-topic here without making
that gratuitous (and logically unsound) remark.

Well, you may very well end up in trouble typing that. Invading the
implementation's namespace is a no-no. (Using _ followed by another
_ or an UPPERCASE letter is the implementation's namespace).
What exactly is wrong with typing this?:
#ifndef FILE_H_
#define FILE_H_
....
#endif

In case you haven't noticed, this is a newsgroup about the standard C
language. Many of the people here do like C and most of its features.
Here, we really don't discuss other languages or what the C language
might be turned into, we discuss it as it is now. If you want to
discuss enhancement of the C language, perhaps you should visit
comp.std.c.

I comment C-style prototypes up at the top of my listings. If I have a lot
of functions, I'll write a "header" full of comments and include that. (I
prefer not to because it isn't very PHP-like, and friends usually edit my
PHP scripts a lot more often than I do.)

Easy. Write a large C program with headers. Run it through the preprocessor.

A. Sorry for my formatting, i will try not to use question marks
Thank you. Also try not to use ellipses, and do use other punctuation
correctly.
B. In a modern IDE all the functions is listed.

Kinda proves the point of the article, huh. ;-)

Not so. In comp.lang.c, the word "object" has a clearly-defined meaning. If
he isn't using the word in that sense, his usage is off-topic. Since I
cannot believe he would be so ungentlemanly as to post off-topic material,
I deduce that he is using the word with its topical, C-related meaning.
