| Question | — |
Why does calloc accept 2 arguments, and with what arguments should one call it?

| Question | — |
What are disadvantages of static functions (ie functions with internal linkage) in C? Functions in C have external linkage by default. In other words, the storage class specifier `extern` is applied to functions by default, with the effect that they are visible to all translation units. The storage class specifier `static` gives functions internal linkage and restricts visibility t... (more) |
