I haven't been able to find anything in the C11 standard about the initialisation of bar being a constraint violation. In 6.7.3, the only constraints for type qualifiers listed are for _Atomic and restrict. Could you let me know where

It would only be a VLA if defined in a block, I intended the code snippet to be at file-scope, giving the buffer size and array static storage duration. But it does indeed compile in Clang, and I'm looking into why. I think this line i

This is what I was going for in the blog post, but I got confused after seeing these comments as Clang _does_ compile this when the buffer is of static storage class. Which I don't think is standard -- but it's not using VLAs. I w

Thank you so much! This is lovely to hear. ^_^ I like it too.

Yes, I think I made an embarrassing mess up here by using a compiler that doesn't support VLAs, and not fully understanding VLAs. Thanks for pointing it out.

I should probably make it smaller! 6MB is pretty indulgent. But I do like how it looks and this is mostly just a fun blog for myself :)

Ah yes, what I meant was that more optimisations can be made on memmove if we restrict src and dst, as the overlap case no longer needs to be considered. I've never used restrict, so I could be missing something, but this is what I mea

This is all totally fair -- I've never used restrict, so it's hard for me to have a useful opinion on it. I think it's easy to dismiss things that can help optimisation when you've never seen their effect first-hand. I i

I think it's quite a common thing for people to say if they're not actually experienced in writing the languages. I've heard it from multiple people. As I say in the blog post, it's common knowledge for people who are ex

Thanks, this is useful! I'll have to look at the standards again and be more precise in my language.
