Many organizations would rather pay 3 people $120,000 each instead of paying 1 person $300,000 to do the same work, for a variety of reasons. Some good, some bad.

Depends on how long he has to live and set things up to work around it, but Oregon has an up to 16% estate tax + federal estate tax of up to 40%. Kicks in after 16 million or so.

In practice what would the actual code look like (pseudo-code is fine). How would I concatenate strings at runtime using `+`, once with one allocator and then again with another allocator?
169.
by defen 3y ago
From a syntactic perspective, no, because there is an Allocator vtable interface in the stdlib. Anything that implements alloc, resize, and free can be used interchangeably in any function that takes a `std.mem.Allocator` argument. You don&

Where does the memory for the combined string come from? Even if Zig had operator overloading it's not clear how a runtime `string1 + string2` could work.

No it doesn't. If you don't specify a standard for GCC it uses GNU extensions by default.

by defen 3y ago
This is checking for the presence of raw string literals (A GNU C extension) not C23. If you compile with `-std=gnu99` instead of `-std=c99` you'll get "C23" as output.

by defen 3y ago
The C preprocessor is hilariously underspecified in the standard, so implementing the standard doesn't guarantee that you'll be able to handle real-world C programs (even ones that don't use GNU or clang extensions).
