Housing is in short supply and rents are higher than what many can afford. Enter the ad-subsidized rental. You can now afford a one-bedroom shoebox in a gleaming post-modernist glass tower downtown in exchange for being exposed to streaming

A separate control character was not needed to indicate where your Hollerith string ended: it ended at the end of the Hollerith string. If you wanted to render a Hollerith string onto print media, you'd often want to feed the line and

According to the unsolicited email I regularly receive, there are already products on the market for making bones longer. And lasting all night, which would I guess make it significantly easier to get out of bed in the morning.

The word "function" in mathematics and the word "function" in C (and C++) are homonyms. Two words spelled the same and pronounced the same but with entirely different meanings. Any effort to conflate the two will just en

Well, if the designer of the class used the right annotations GCC will issue a warning if warnings are enabled. This is third-party code and nothing to do with GCC per se and the language itself does not require any kind of compile-time war

Your problem is that whoever designed that Serial class is incompetent and should be shot and their body defiled in unspeakable ways. The C-language varargs concept and the C++ object model are not compatible. C++ provides varargs only for

> That's why GP suggested annotating them. Typically this would be done via a function attribute. That won't help when you link external functions or worse, dynamically load them. Those are things done long after the compiler
537.
by bregma 2y ago
No, any function can call another function from another translation unit (at link time) or load and call a function from another translation unit (at runtime). How will the compiler enforce the propagation of the requirement in those cases?
538.
by bregma 2y ago
Well, the compiler has no way of knowing if a function will later be a signal handler after linking, or even dynamic loading. There is no portable way to annotate all functions ever written or ever will be written as being async signal safe
