The GNU C compiler apparently still permits this, and the VC++ 2005 compiler permits it too, though it issues a Level-4 warning if it’s C code, and a Level-2 warning if it’s C++ code.
these are samples, not complete applications. The code (and coding style) is not meant to be industrial strength; it's not even well-designed. The sole purpose of the samples is illustrating a point, not teaching proper coding style.
The obvious question is: should you be considering a move to 64-bit Windows? In this article, we will explore the answer to this question. We will discuss the advantages of 64-bit Windows over 32-bit, talk about a few concepts, and get some tips...
C and C++ compilers automatically define certain macros that can be used to check for compiler or operating system features. This is important when writing portable software.
by andy@nobugs.org, "I recently became interested in parsing C++. It's taken me quite a while to gather together various resources from the web, so I thought I'd share my findings with the world ..."
