| Question | — |
Why does calloc accept 2 arguments, and with what arguments should one call it? According to the standard (C17 draft, 7.22.3.2) The function `calloc` > `void calloc(sizet nmemb, sizet size);` "allocates space for an array of `nmemb` objects, each of whose size is `size` [and] initialize[s] [...] all bits [to] zero".

| 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) |
