I wish ({...}) had been in C23.
- uecker 3y agoI agree, this is one of the more important common extensions we are still missing.
- peterfirefly 3y agoI'm still miffed it wasn't in C99 ;)
- uecker 3y agoSorry, it was on my list of things to propose, but I did not have enough time (due to a job change). Others were more interested in lambdas.
- peterfirefly 3y agoYou are forgiven. It must be like pushing water up a mountain. At least we got #embed, typeof, auto, constexpr, and sensible enums this time around. How many of you guys have half of a C compiler lying around in a directory somewhere on your machines? (And how do you find the time for WG14 AND writing code AND doing research? My cousin is in roughly the same field as you and you publish more than he does.)
- uecker 3y agoIt is Sisyphean, but there also many synergies (I work on real-time computational imaging systems). And the specific things you mention were mostly not my work (I made typeof in GCC more coherent, which helped getting it standardized). But yes, I have a semi-complete C compiler around and many unfinished GCC branches...
