>Did I mess up the code? You certainly did; both your benchmark functions overflow their internal buffers. However, it's not all that improbable for memccpy to be slower than strcpy in this case, even if it was used correctly; after

>I wondered if it just has constant expression semantics for const variables. That would be my guess also, for applicable const variables. File scope const variables are quite constexpr-y in C anyway, since C requires all file scope vari

To be exact, it doesn't compile fine outside of functions (which the sample code didn't have) because file scope arrays can't be VLAs.

>Even more so because the equivalence doesn't work that way in C++ What do you mean? As far as I remember, C++ is very similar in this respect when it comes to array and pointer types.

Only the first two expressions on the right are null pointer constants (integral constant expression with a value of 0, optionally cast as a void *), that can be used to initialize all pointer variables, including function pointers. The las

Line comments have been part of the C language for a long, long time (added in C99); so much so that, especially when discussing the subject on the internet, more and more often they predate some of the younger participants.

That's hardly obscure: it's Javascript that's the odd one out of the languages with C-like syntax, with its wacky function-level scoping instead of variable shadowing when using 'var', and falling back to global sco

How could I truthfully mean soy by "what cows eat", when around here, soy only makes up 1-2% of cattle feed. You're cutting all the corners available by adding up the fact that you've heard soy being fed to cattle to the

The narrow tyres of the i3 sure look funny, but I wouldn't expect it to be an issue on ice. It's pretty common knowledge around here to have narrower winter tyres than summer tyres so you don't just glide over snow, so I gues

For reference, (with a Windows 10 system with 16GB of RAM) after several hours of light use, task manager reports that 2.7GB of RAM is used with 13GB available (other numbers report that 3.3/16.9GB are committed, and 2.8GB cached).

But why would you design cities for bicycles either? They're not people, right?

>The gas is taxed for the environmental reasons Then why was it highly taxed before carbon emissions were considered a problem at all? I can tell you: because it's easy to tax (very much like estates).

Oh, but it is a wonderful tax income. Around here, only a fraction (about 1/8) of car-related taxes are spent on maintaining the roads.

You definitely should warm up your engine, but strictly before starting it and not by idling it (i.e. use a block heater). This is because it takes a lot of time for the engine to warm up when idling without any load.

Kei cars are small (unless I'm gravely mistaken), while Leaf isn't that kind of small.

Of course: aerodynamic benefits. Lower frontal area as well as better drag coefficient. This car has an awful range at highway speeds, so every little bit helps (but you probably still want to drive at a lower speed if you're going far

Sharing economy, all right. Some refuse to acknowledge the issues that are well known.

Would that tax apply to all soft drinks, or only still water?

Alcohol damages brains of all ages, as well. I don't write that to dispute the point of the article. However, many findings do dispute the age of adulthood.

While it makes no difference in this case, it's worth noting that Badge<T> is not an aggregate type because it has a user-provided constructor. Therefore the object is value initialized, i.e. the braces are equivalent to 'Ba

When I last checked, ECC RAM was hardly more expensive than non-ECC RAM. 8-core Xeons have a huge price range. I would be quite surprised if the BoM of the base model was even half of that.

What's the difference? Perhaps a file never meant just something you have in a directory, rather "a stream of bytes", and the bigger thing was always unifying the difference whether those bytes are read from a magnetic tape o

Well... except for the fact that I don't have a gut to make use of any of the biomass that grazing cattle can harvest from a field. And eaten or not, that biomass is part of active carbon cycle, and if left on the field, will decompose
