That is why I use just int main(){...} without arguments instead.
Any void main(){...} enjoyers?
while (true) {...}
int main(void) { . . . } for me!
Very true, the less user input you have the safer your code will be.
Safe code is a skill, not a feature.
i will never forgive C for making the type syntax be
c
char* args[]
instead of the much more reasonable
c
&[char] args
it also bothers me that char* args[] and char c are “the same type” in the sense that the compiler lets you write
c
char c, *args[5];
with no problems. i think the C languages would be way easier to learn if they had better type syntax. don’t even get me started on C++ adding support for
cpp
auto fn_name() -> ReturnType { … }
@affiliate Hey, you didn't even mention that char *args[] actually means char **args in a parameter list.
god, what a beautiful language. it brings a tear to my eye
It could, but not necessarily.
char **args can just mean you have a pointer which points to an address, and at that address, you can get a second address. Follow the second address, there is a char saved there.
On the other hand, char *args[] means " follow this address to find a list of characters".
counterpoint: all code is unsafe. retvrn to abacuses
But I was hit over the head with one, that wasn't safe either!
Strictly speaking, it should be
