Hi I am having some problems assigning function pointers.
this works fine:
int (*compar) () = increasing;
qsort(arr, MAX, sizeof(arr[0]), compar);
this doesn't:
if (argv[1] == "decreasing")
int (*compar) () = decreasing;
if (argv[1] == "increasing")
int (*compar) () = increasing;
qsort(arr, MAX, sizeof(arr[0]), compar);
any ideas here is the full code below
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#define MAX 20
int intcmp(const void *v1, const void *v2);
int increasing(const void *v1, const void *v2);
int decreasing(const void *v1, const void *v2);
int (*compar)(const void *v1, const void *v2);
main(int argc, char** argv)
{
int arr[MAX], count, key, *ptr, i, a ,b;
printf("argc = %d\n", argc);
for (i = 0; i < argc; i++)
printf("argv[%d] = \"%s\"\n", i, argv[i]);
int (*compar) () = increasing;
//if (argv[1] == "decreasing")
//int (*compar) () = increasing;
//if (argv[1] == "increasing")
//int (*compar) () = decreasing;
for (count = 0; count < MAX; count++)
scanf("%d", &arr[count]);
qsort(arr, MAX, sizeof(arr[0]), compar);
//qsort(arr, MAX, sizeof(arr[0]), increasing);
for (count = 0; count < MAX; count++)
printf("arr[%d] = %d.\n", count, arr[count]);
}
int intcmp(const void *v1, const void *v2)
{
return (*(int *)v1 - *(int *)v2);
}
int increasing(const void *v1, const void *v2)
{
// printf ("increasing\n");
return (*(int *)v1 - *(int *)v2);
}
int decreasing(const void *v1, const void *v2)
{
// printf ("decreasing\n");
return (*(int *)v2 - *(int *)v1);
}

You can't declare compar twice, try
int (*compar)();
if (argv[1] == "decreasing")
compar = decreasing;
if (argv[1] == "increasing")
compar = increasing;
qsort(arr, MAX, sizeof(arr[0]), compar);

Yes, he can, but it won't do him any good.

Wouldn't he be better off with
int (*compar)(const void *, const void *); ?

Wouldn't he be better off looking up strcmp?

Heretic. I'm suspending your clc posting licence for DBL_MIN seconds.
That'll larn ya.

Don't you think this is slightly too short and mild a punishment?
Interesting: I thought DBL_MIN to be in limits.h, but I found it in float.h,
DBL_MAX being in both...
Bye, Jojo
thanks guys that works perfectly

Your implementation's <limits.his broken if it defines DBL_MAX,
unless it includes some mechanism to disable that definition when
compiling in strictly conforming mode.
It does, sort of, with an #ifdef DBL_MAX

That's why I said 'sort of'. I just checked again: float.h is doing the same
thing, so it doesn't matter which is included or in what order, si I guess
we're save here...

No you are not because if you do not include float.h it is legal for you
to unconditionally define DBL_MAX. I.e. the following is perfectly legal...
#include <limits.h>
#define DBL_MAX "Hello World"
int main(void)
{
puts(DBL_MAX);
return 0;
}
Subject to typos/thinkos, anyway.

Such as the typo of omitting <stdio.h- not strictly a problem in C90
for this particular program, but I believe it moves your code outside
the common subset of C90 and C99.

Hmm, well, maybe I have to take that up to the compiler vendor then (who at
the same time is my employer...)

It was a lackofthinko that would have been caught by the compiler as I
normally use it. At least I did not use a varidac function so it was
valid for C90 and K&R :-)
You are, of course, correct to point out the error.

In C99, they're not in the same scope. Each if statement now has its
own (sub)scope, and the two declarations are legal. <joke>Of course,
RH won't consider this relevant.</They are useless, since neither is
available to the attempted use. And as already noted, comparing
strings that way won't work as desired either, and that type is not as
exact (complete) as it could usefully be.

In both C90 and C99, tbe attempted declarations are syntax errors. The if
condition must be followed by a statement. A declaration is not a
statement.

See, this is why David Thompson is so useful. He notices things like
this. My reply was incorrect: I am so used to braces around the 'body'
of an if (because I always use them) that it seems I can see them even
when they're not there.
