Talk:C Programming/Language overloading and extensions

not extensions
Lots of this stuff made it into the 1999 C standard or is available via the optimizer. The standard C way to do a rotation is to use shifting, masking, and oring. A good compiler, like gcc, will use a rotate instruction for this. Variable length array stuff is in the 1999 standard. AlbertCahalan 18:54, 22 October 2005 (UTC)


 * Yes. Should we spell out exactly how to do that here, or just link to other sections of this book for more details? C Programming/Further math discusses the rotate instruction. Talk:C Programming/Weaknesses of C briefly mentions the "variable length array" syntax and the "flexible array member" syntax. Where in this book is the right place to fully explain how to use them? --DavidCary (talk) 15:44, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
