Don't mean to start a flame war on this, but I believe that casting pointers returned by malloc(), as long as it is properly declared, helps document your code. From an "utilitarian" point of view,...

Here's a (hopefully) clear and (definitely) long explaination of how it works.

The first thing you should understand is that it's not the compiler that produces the actual executable from your...

I like this one very much... I would never have thought of doing it that way.

I'll try out the different alternatives anyway. Thanks to all for your suggestions. :)

Hmm, I was expecting someone to point out a less obvious way of doing it, instead of the pretty straightforward iteration along individual bits (which at first looked rather unelegant to me).

Say,...

How can I check the parity of an integer variable (i.e. count the number of '1' bits), without resorting to inline assembly?

Just a simple question.

Is it guaranteed that the pointer to a structure always points to the structure's first member?

e.g.


struct {
data_type a;
data_type b;
