    Forum Message Rules for Stuff That Looks Like Code

    When is the following error generated when replying to a message in a thread:

    "Please surround your source code with code tags."

    I had code tags around what I consider is code. But the message in question was not passing the automatic checks.

    Yep. I don't know exactly what the rules are, but at a guess, I'd say it's pretty simple: curly braces indicate code.

    Code:
    {} <--- requires code tags
    C programming resources:
    GNU C Function and Macro Index -- glibc reference manual
    The C Book -- nice online learner guide
    Current ISO draft standard
    CCAN -- new CPAN like open source library repository
    3 (different) GNU debugger tutorials: #1 -- #2 -- #3
    cpwiki -- our wiki on sourceforge
