was that form ever legal C?

Yeah, it was (for certain values of 'legal'). That form of function prototype is known as 'K&R style'... There are - in the broadest possible terms - two versions of C. The first is usually called 'K&R C', from the initials of the authors of the canonical textbook (The C Programming Language). The second is called 'ANSI C' or 'ISO C', from the initials of the American and international standards bodies who, well, standardized the language.

Anyway, when ANSI standardized the C language it got a major overhaul, which included a new form of function declaration. The old form will still compile on lots of compilers, but the new form (usually called 'ANSI style') is much better.


email: perl -e 'print reverse map { chr( ord($_)-1 ) } split //, "\x0bufo/hojsfufqAofc";'

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
