    p_stck is the dynamic array.

    If I'm understand that right, it's always good to check for null before freeing then just to be on the safe side.

    Question on free()

    I come from a C++ background where 'delete' was different if you're working with an array of memory. With free(), does it delete the array automatically?

    A really good book that helped me go from C to C++ was C++: The Complete Reference, 4th Edition. The first section is C89 since it's a base document for the C++ standard, so it examines that first....

    Well it's a C99 header, so it depends on the compiler. The one I'm using doesn't contain stdbool.h.

    Test your C knowledge

    Just having fun with this... What's wrong with this code while compiling on a C89 compiler?



    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    #include <stdbool.h>

    add(a, b)
    int a;

    I get it now. I'm passing an address to the function. The formal parameter contains the address. So I don't have to specify '&' again. If you do it can do bad things!

    Single comment line without C99?

    For several years I've been use to the single ('//') comment line in C++. I know in C89 this isn't standard, but it is in C99. Is it common to use it anyway? Is it widely portable? Thanks.

    Game maps similar to Eye of the Beholder?

    I didn't know Eye of the Beholder would be considered research after all these years. But I'm curious how they designed the maps. It might help for a near future project.
