Because they're not standard? Because they are compiler extensions?Originally Posted by creeping death
I fail to see such a situation. Can you elaborate?
This forum is about standard compliant and portable code your code is not very standards compliant, is it?anyways...its upto the OP to see if it works on his compiler or not...
If you don't mind, please avoid such suggestions.
So what I'm gathering from what Elysia is saying is I should stick to using pointers in this situation and avoid using nested functions since that seems to be compiler dependent and not standard C?
I am asking because I have learned in the past when you learn a new skill, its much easier to learn it the correct way the first time through than to have to go back and try to correct your habits later down the road..........and since I am new to programming, I want to make sure I "develop"the correct habits.
Yes, you have little to gain from nested functions, so relying on them is pretty bad since it's not standard C. I would not recommend it.

i wouldnt recommend it, but it does not hurt to know that you have an option, if you use gcc...who knows might come handy someday....knowledge is powerThis forum is about standard compliant and portable code your code is not very standards compliant, is it?

I see a lot of discussion about whether nested functions are possible and technical discussions about them, but not a good application for them.
