    Testing 123

    Greetings.

    I have been having problems posting to these boards.

    This is just a test to see if I have managed to fix the problem.

    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    
    int main(void)
    {
        printf("Type _Bool has a size of %zd bytes.\n", sizeof(_Bool));
        printf("Type char has a size of %zd bytes.\n", sizeof(char));
        printf("Type short has a size of %zd bytes.\n", sizeof(short));
        printf("Type int has a size of %zd bytes.\n", sizeof(int));
        printf("Type long has a size of %zd bytes.\n", sizeof(long));
        printf("Type long long has a size of %zd bytes.\n", sizeof(long long));
        printf("Type float has a size of %zd bytes.\n", sizeof(float));
        printf("Type double has a size of %zd bytes.\n", sizeof(double));
        printf("Type long double has a size of %zd bytes.\n", sizeof(long double));
        
        return 0;
    }

        return 0;
    }
    well that worked all right

    I am using Debian Linux. The first two posts were done using Firefox.This post is done using Chromium
    Code:
    #include int main(void){	printf("Type _Bool has a size of %zd bytes.\n", sizeof(_Bool));	printf("Type char has a size of %zd bytes.\n", sizeof(char));	printf("Type short has a size of %zd bytes.\n", sizeof(short));	printf("Type int has a size of %zd bytes.\n", sizeof(int));	printf("Type long has a size of %zd bytes.\n", sizeof(long));	printf("Type long long has a size of %zd bytes.\n", sizeof(long long));	printf("Type float has a size of %zd bytes.\n", sizeof(float));	printf("Type double has a size of %zd bytes.\n", sizeof(double));	printf("Type long double has a size of %zd bytes.\n", sizeof(long double));		return 0;}

    Well that post didn't go well . It seems the problem is just with Google Chromium. SO I will use Firefox when posting to this site. No problem.

    Testing with Chromium too, on Ubuntu:
    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    
    int main(void) {
        printf("Hello world!\n");
        return 0;
    }

"Finding the smallest program that demonstrates the error" is a powerful debugging tool.

    fguy: I presume you copied and pasted the code from a text editor, and if so, which editor did you use? Did you use spaces or tabs for indenting?

    I don't think the text editor I use is relevant, but I am using Pluma as my code editor, and using tabs for indentingThe problem is that all of my carriage returns are being ignored, so everything just runs together.This also happens with text that I type directly into the message window.For example, I have typed this post directly, using Chromium, with each sentence being a separate paragraph on its own line.I am expecting that all of these sentences will run together in one paragraph.

    The text editor is relevant, because some IDE's like to copy code complete with all the colour and font tags (and other associated 'smart' garbage) they use to make the code look pretty on screen.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    OK, point taken. But let's focus on the problem as described above, which occurs when I type directly into the message window, without using a text editor at all.
