Talk:Snippets

From C

i'm beginning to think that these snippets might be a duplication of what is already in the faq --twkm 19:05, 27 Dec 2004 (PST) That can't hurt, as long as they point at the FAQ entiries, also. However, this page is vast - it really wants splitting up into bite-sized chunks. --Kate 00:05, 26 Sep 2005 (UTC)

I say we stuff commonly asked (in #c) code/frequently explained idioms etc. here.. --noselasd 03:30, 3 Jan 2005 (PST)

why have a bad typedef?

well, because the snippet is mostly about what you should not do. --twkm 19:43, 2 Jan 2005 (PST)

on the removal of the link to the generic linked lists, hash tables, and stacks example

<brandon_niemczyk> it was horrible code...

as of 0245 some of the edits seem odd. here are my thoughts.

• sorry about misspelling your name.
• the text explains why the examples presented don't work, i'm not too sure why a comment is also needed.
• what do you find non-working about int c = tolower(getchar());?
• i'm not sure what text is being referenced for the description as to why struct item was renamed to struct item_.
• the reserved namespace is str followed by a lower-case letter, thus str_tolower does not invade.
• identifiers beginning with STR are not reserved, why rename it?
• indentation in mediawiki doesn't work too well for code, i.e., the previous code did not 'overflow' for me and perhaps others. the replacement may flow onto multiple lines for some.
