Can someone explain dot products to me?
Someone suggested a math-heavy website to learn some linear alg and I didn't get any of it.

What problem are you having with understanding them, anon?

how do I plot serial data using matplotlib?

>>57534564
the dot product

 <x,y> 

is the proyection (or shadow) of x over the direction y or the same way, the projection of y over the direction x.

If <x,y> > 0 then you have an acute angle, <x,y> = 0 then the vectors are ortogonal and if <x,y> < 0 an obtuse angle. Also you can create hyperplanes to delitmit zones thanks to the hahn banach theorem, which is useful on optimization for branch & bound

How do I convert chars to strings in C++?
Because right now, I feel like I'm wasting memory on creating essentially the same of both.
Either that, or taking an inputted string, and changing it after it being inputted. Is that possible?

>>57534564
>Can someone explain dot products to me?
In what context?
Algebraically it's just a simple reduce operation of two arrays of numbers.
Geometrically you can think of it as a way to measure the 'separations' of two vectors or projecting a vector onto another (say you wanna know how 'far along' a vector is along another direction).

>>57534701
You can create a string in C++ by passing a char array to the str function, like this:

char arr[ ] = "OP is a fag";

string str(arr);

>>57534720
It's not an array though. It's just one character. Would it still work?

>>57534730
Yeah, I think so. Though I have to wonder why you're storing a single char as a string.

>>57534746
I'm basically taking a user's input (One letter), and then based on the type of letter they picked, convert said letter into a word, or string. Right now, I'm using two chars, and two strings, both with the same names, just that the chars are in lower case, while the strings are in upper case.

>>57534770
It might help if we could see the code, but yeah I don't think you need duplicates of all your variables.

>>57534781

        cout << "First user, enter paper, rock, or scissors, by typing the first letter of the word: ";
        cin >> user1;
        cout << "Second user, do the same: ";
        cin >> user2;

Literally just look in the docs.
You should always keep a tab of the <language X> docs next to your /g/ tab when you program, next to your stackoverflow tab.

http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/string/basic_string/basic_string
>2) Constructs the string with count copies of character ch. The behavior is undefined if count >= npos.

char x = 'X';
std::string s = std::string(1, x); // count=1; one copy of character
std::cout << "my string: \"" << s << "\"" << std::endl; // -> my string: "x"

>>57534921
nano is bloat

>>57534896
Why would some no-name shitty VS-clone "IDE" be better than Emacs?

>>57534917
The way to do it would be to have a function that takes in a character abbreviation and outputs a string, e.g.

string get_hand_name (char c) {
  switch (c) {
  case 'r':
  case 'R':
    return "Rock";
  ...
  default:
    return "";
}

Then be like

char user1_c, user2_c;
string user1, user2;
...
cin >> user1_c;
...
cin >> user2_c;
user1 = get_hand_name(user1_c);
user2 = get_hand_name(user2_c);
if (user1 == "" || user2 == "") {
  std::cout << "That's not R/P/S!!" << std::endl;
  return 1;
}

And then even better make a function to compute outcome

int outcome (char p1, char p2) {
  // returns 1 if p1 wins, 2 if p2 wins
  ...
}

Also what you probably want to do is have seperate values representing rock / paper / scissors, so you don't have to constantly check cases.
A common C idiom is to define them as numbers.

int ROCK = 1;
int PAPER = 2;
int SCISSORS = 3;
int INVALID = 0;

int parse_move (char inp) {
  switch (inp) {
  case 'r': case 'R':
    return ROCK;
  ...
  default:
    return INVALID;
  }
}

A cool advantage to this is you get to utilize string indexing

const char* moves[] = {
  "-invalid", "Rock", "Paper", "Scissors"
};
int main () {
  int user1 = parse_move(user1_c);
  ...
  std::cout << moves[user1] << std::endl;
 ...
}

Thanks for that in particular. Didn't think of this.

>>57535003
Well, apparently I was going off of some mis-reported news articles from awhile ago.

>>57535003
vi comes with my minimal install. nano does not. nano is bloat to my workflow because now I have to remember how to use vi and nano, and since i have to use vi to configure my network-scripts every 2 years when I install a nix I have to remember how to use vi. So I just use vi(m?).

tl;dr I don't always have nano. I always have vi so anything I don't use (eg nano) is bloat to my disk and my muscle memory.

He's a beginner. It's easier to understand int variables than learning a new syntax (enum) or using shitty defines. He'll learn those things later but more important than whatever laundry list of advantages enum has to toplevel variables, is just understanding the idea and purpose behind it.

>>57535073
>He's a beginner
That doesn't mean that you should give him misinformation.
There are several very large disadvantages to using an int variable, including NOT being able to use it case labels, which is very fucking important.

>>57535209
Shouldn't you have a CharLowercase function?
Also use methods from cin instead of _getch() to be more I D I O M A T I C

>>57535243
I use _getch because it doesn't emit it to the console (no reading the other's entry) and you don't need to press enter.
Moving more into functions, like user input (and therefore lowercasing), should be done but I didn't feel like doing it, so I didn't.

>>57535267
Linux doesn't have _getch(), and cygwin doesn't support it either last time I checked.
Yes, I know it's annoying to have to type enter but it's honestly much better for everyone involved, for instance you could pipe a file into your RockPaperScissors program to do automatic testing.

Hey Dude Just Chill Tf Out Lol Xd

hey /g/
Over the course of about 6 months, I've made a program, by myself.
I need to present it tomorrow at Uni as a side project, to show my programming initiative.
It's C++.
It is a huge bunch of header and cpp files, and I made it so I can use it to make games in the future.
It's features:
It handles keyboard and mouse input events (I made my own KeyDown KeyHold and KeyUp events)
Debugging to a .txt log and console.
Handles loop time (eg, 50 main loops per second) If it goes over, it logs it to the .txt and console
It handles the loading and drawing of images (strictly 2D)

The only thing I've used externally is SFML.

Essentially you copy and paste all the .h and .cpp files into a new project, and code in the given methods, store data in the ProgramSpecificStorage class, etc.
I never plan on distributing it, because it's just for my shitty use.
But to get extra marks at Uni, I've decided to show it.
Problem is, I don't know what to call it. It's got a name, but I don't know WHAT it is/what to refer to it as in my submission.
Is it an engine? (No UI for coding, it's entirely just files, so probably not)
Is it a framework? (Probs not)
Is it a library? (You can't import it. You have to code IN one of the class' methods)
WHAT IS MY PROGRAM?

How hard is that? Everyone uses the C ABI if you're going to call anything from assembly.

>And then you wouldn't sad that GCC is worthless
I don't understand this sentence. My post was obviously meant rhetorically, all those programs are definitively very useful and thus worthy.

Congrats, you reached your retard quota for this day. Now remove yourself from this thread.

>How hard is that? Everyone uses the C ABI if you're going to call anything from assembly.

There is no "C ABI". There is the System V AMD64 ABI, there is the Microsoft x64 ABI, and those two are just the popular ones for x64. x86 has a bunch more, stdcall, cdecl, thiscall - and that's again just one target.

>very useful and thus worthy.

That's not how I measure usefulness.

>>57536981

You don't need math to be a code monkey, but anything more that that requires a basic understanding of calc, or higher depending on your field.

I've never used calculus.

>>57537008
>saying that C++ is shit because programming assembly is hard

I said, you already reached your retard quota for today. You don't get any extra tendies for it.

My assembly-post was not directed at the usefulness of C++, but on the usefulness of GCC. Because C removes a fucking lot of what you have to care about without any detriments. That's why it's useful.

You cannot say the same about C++. C++ relies way too much on dynamic memory allocation, to a degree where it gets outright silly, and they suddenly introduce reference counting for resources that are shared. Exceptions are unnecessary, maybe more comfortable, but not simple. Simple != comfortable. I hate comfortableness if it's also not simple. And C++ does not try to be simple, it tries to be comfortable - something that could have been done with proper frameworks in C as well, just without the detriments.

if you're shit at math, why are you even trying, you can be a web dev but even then you'll have a harder time than someone who's good at math, programming (not coding) is a highly intellectual pursuit

>>57537012
>>57537002
>>57537001
Are we really having this shitty argument _again_?

Can we just agree if you want to be a web programmer you can probably ignore most math but if you want to do anything even close to math you're going to have to...learn it?

>>57536981
It will get better--your future classes will be more design oriented and you'll eventually finish your math requirements. This is basically the inverse of most other sciences. Keep your head up.

>>57537066
I'm currently doing a PhD in CS, and I failed university calculus and linear algebra two times before barely passing the third and last attempt. I also got shitty grades in formal logic.

I did extremely well in algorithms and data structures though, and also in statistics. When things are on the practical level, I have a firm grasp of it. It's when it gets too abstract I'm having a hard time understanding it.

Well..

In Ruby I'd build a simple webcrawler..
>http://ruby.bastardsbook.com/chapters/web-crawling/

..to get the threads and runs via cronjob.

Then you need to filter the posts. You can't RegEx a complete HTML document (pic related), but you can grab the posts via some parser, in Ruby I'd take NokoGiri. After you got the content you can throw a RegEx at the content, somethings like "/(>>\d{8,8} (\(you\)))*/x"
Note that I already grabbed the "(you)" within a pair of parentheses..

Next step would be "taking a screenshot and hiding the (you)s", but I'd suggest just deleting/replacing the (you) instead of editing the graphic.

After you deleted the (you), you have to start a browser by the script calling the comamnd line. Depending on your browser it should be something like:
"./Google/Chrome/chrome.exe" --app="bla/your_filename.html"

After a short break (time to open the browser) you could use a screeshot-tool..
>https://github.com/browserstack/ruby-screenshots

..and close the browser again.

The next part is pretty tricky, you have to bypass the caption to upload it. The simplest approach would probably be to notify you that another caption is ready and solve it yourself. Or pay some indian guy for that job.

RAII is inherently a good thing, and exceptions are an extension of RAII; they are not meant to be simple or comfortable, they are meant to be a safe way of aborting the current code path and still cleaning up allocated resources.

As for reference counting, I fail to see how it's a bad thing. Why would you hate on the concept of ownership, you basically have the same idea in C where whatever logical unit is malloc'ing, should also be responsible for free'ing. C++ offers a simple way of transferring that ownership through smart pointers.

>>57537130
woah there, optimization is way more than general ability to reason with numbers. Discrete optimization, combinatorics, etc. are all crazy fields with a lot of active research.

>>57537109

Unles you want to write your own graphical library or audio/video codecs, you won't get in touch with higher math.

You don't need to understand how a hash gets generated if you just have can just use bcrypt. You don't need to understand Diffie-Hellman or RSA when you can use a simple SSH client.

It's nice to know the reasoning behind "why is traveling salesman difficult to solve?", but it's not something you'll encounter in the average programmer's life.


programming == using libraries and frameworks

>>57537128
>RAII is inherently a good thing,
I had a lengthy discussion about RAII literally 5 days ago, and it was concluded that while it helps preventing imbeciles from creating memory holes, it forces actual programmers to program like shit in order to make things work.

>[exceptions] are not meant to be simple or comfortable

Yes, they are meant to be comfortable. Tell a C++ programmer that he is now going to check each function for a return error code, and he's going to complain about how tedious it is to check for an error every single time.

>I fail to see how it's a bad thing.
>Why would you hate on the concept of ownership, you basically have the same idea in C where whatever logical unit is malloc'ing

I was talking about C, not about the standard library which is a train wreck to begin with. And I do not like malloc either. The concept of managing a global list of memory chunks that are beyond the programmer's control is retarded, in C as well as in C++.

Reference counting also requires locks. Sorry, but I rather have my producer construct and free any resources that are used rather than the workers.

>>57537120
I meant a specific example. What in graphics specifically?

>>57537159
This is such a good answer. Math is useful for understanding the tools you're using, but is not necessary for programming in general. I would argue that math will make you a better programmer though.

>>57537185
I have seen many mathematicians and physicists who cannot program for their life. They are awesome at explaining to me how math works, but then I look at their code, ask "What the fuck is this shit?", point at three connection establishments where one would suffice, and then I just get silence as answer.

And it happens - every - single - time.

>>57537165
>it forces actual programmers to program like shit in order to make things work.
If you by "actual programmers" mean pajeet code cowboys who refuse to follow the ideom and prefer using unsafe practices and ideoms, I agree.

>Yes, they are meant to be comfortable. Tell a C++ programmer that he is now going to check each function for a return error code, and he's going to complain about how tedious it is to check for an error every single time.
It's more tedious to create custom exceptions desu senpai. The point of exceptions is NOT to avoid checking what kind of exception it is, it is exactly as I said a way of ensuring that you safely escape the normal code path.

Look at exceptions as a way of doing out of band signalling, rather than using in-band signalling using return values.

It can also be vastly more efficient.

>I was talking about C, not about the standard library which is a train wreck to begin with.
The standard library is very much a part of C.

>And I do not like malloc either. The concept of managing a global list of memory chunks that are beyond the programmer's control is retarded, in C as well as in C++.
That's the only way of writing portable programs anon. You might write programs the old way, assuming that your process has fixed memory addresses, but it would be extremely non portable and would break security features like NX and ALSR.

>Reference counting also requires locks
No, not inherently. There are no locks in memory allocation for example. That's why you have both shared_ptr and atomic_shared_ptr.

>>57537231
>If you by "actual programmers" mean pajeet code cowboys who refuse to follow the ideom and prefer using unsafe practices and ideoms, I agree.

No, I mean programmers who do not want to refactor their code because a single object declaration automatically triggers a constructor call that might be potentially expensive (several kernel calls in a row), without ever using the object because it's only used in certain execution paths. And only in those execution paths do I want to initialize and use and free it again.
>put it in their own scope then
And have redundant code because I suddenly have to manage two code paths where one has been sufficient with C?

No, thanks.

>It's more tedious to create custom exceptions desu senpai.
I wasn't talking about custom exceptions. I was talking about default exceptions. The ones you get when you run out of memory. When you divide by zero.

The attitude of C++-programmers is:
>lol let it happen, a exception will be generated
The attitude of C programmers is:
>I have to do it, because generated code is not the shit

I am not saying the C system is perfect. It's not. It would be nice to tell a function that, whenever a function returned something other than 0 this value is now going to be the error code, and the object is cleared. But this is not possible. You need to have control in order to properly clean up objects.

>The standard library is very much a part of C.
I do not think so. The standard library is slow and clunky, and it's that way because they wanted to have something that runs on all systems. That does not mean it's good. When writing a decimal number as string takes 500 cycles with sprintf where a custom function takes 60, then something is wrong with the standard library.

>That's the only way of writing portable programs anon.
Define portable. I am living proof that I can cover at least Linux and Windows with my approach, without breaking NX and ALSR.

2/2

>>57537231
>There are no locks in memory allocation for example.

There are. At least once you use multiple threads. They once wrote a lockless allocator based of the broken design of malloc, but it was just a toy, basically dependent on hardware behavior.

If you don't believe me, go look up some memory allocation code and how it acts when it detects whether or not threads are going to be used.

Both is correct.

A little background in math and theoretical CS will make you a better programmer.

But it's false to assume that you can "automatically" be a good programmer if you know math. I've seen this a lot of times, mathguys or physicists who look down at programming because it's "so simple". But studying biology doesn't make you a better carpenter, aasy stuff is still stuff you have to learn. Also you can't substitute experience, best practices and the reasoning behind certain practices..

"Theory and practice are theoretically the same."

>>57537234
Is that really high level math, though? Or is it just basic algebra?

>>57537366
most of it is not that hard, like high school level, but for someone who sucks at math it would be overwhelmingly difficult for them to do things effectively or even succeed with certain tasks at all

that's high school level math. The complexity is in the logic of composition.

>>57537494
That's about as complex as math in programming gets. And even then 99.9% of programmers will never write anything like those things for actual work.

>>57537325
> a single object declaration automatically triggers a constructor call that might be potentially expensive (several kernel calls in a row)
RAII doesn't require complete initialisation. It just requires that the object not be "uninitialised" to the point that it will crash if you try to use it (including destruction).

If initialisation is expensive, it's fine to construct objects in a "dormant" state, such that further explicit initialisation steps are required in order to fully utilise it.

E.g. in GUI toolkits (which are something of a poster child for OO design), widgets typically need to be "realised" (i.e. the corresponding OS-level window-system objects created) before you can render to them or even query certain properties. Until they are realised, they're just blobs of memory. Realisation may be explicit, but usually a call to "show" a top-level window will realise that window and all of its descendants. A widget may remain realised thereafter or may allow explicit unrealisation (GTK3 allows this so that you can migrate a window to another display; all client-side state will be preserved, but the OS-level objects have to recreated for the new display).

>>57536297

> and exceptions are an extension of RAII
Uh, no.

Exceptions pretty much require RAII in order to be useful (there wouldn't be much point having exceptions if you had to catch and re-throw every exception in order to perform explicit clean-up), but they aren't an "extension" of it.

>>57537565
Totally agree. Even stuff like sorting algorithms are hardly used in the real world. As in, you never have to actually implement that shit yourself unless you're doing something insanely low level.

Maths can be used a lot in programming, but unless you're working for a university running some highly complex and performance sensitive physics simulation or some shit, chances are you'll never really need to use it much.

>>57537593
>Totally agree. Even stuff like sorting algorithms are hardly used in the real world. As in, you never have to actually implement that shit yourself unless you're doing something insanely low level.

Even then you probably don't need to know lots about the math, but lots about the hardware. Because algorithms that sounds good on the board perform really badly on the hardware because of such nasty little things as CPU caches or TLB evictions.

This is shit that isn't taught to you in your math courses.

I am just coming from a shitload of trouble from VS, by many considered to be a decent IDE.

My advice: don't use IDEs. Not worth the fucking trouble.

I like qtcreator because on small projects, it is very light, but I know some people who prefer kdevelop or vim.

Believe it or not, but I prefer programming just with a simple text editor. And console over window. Those have caused me way less problems in the past than IDEs.

Especially for big projects.

>>57537952
I have the compiler telling me rather than the IDE that there is an error in my program. Because the compiler can generate a nice list of error warnings through which I can iterate.

Also this "feature" tends to generate lots of error messages when certain headers are not even included. I do not want that. I want it to start compiling when I tell it to compile, not while I am typing.

>>57537963
Microsoft has the redistributable packages which the client can install in order to run C++ applications that were linked against the latest version of the standard lib.

With this you don't have to recompile for every version. Only for those which are not supported by the latest version (unverified, but I'd count Windows XP out here).

>>57537978
In a properly typed language it is incredibly useful to know the types as you are typing. Waiting until you're compiling is tedious.

Are you sure you've even used an IDE before?

>>57538125
>I don't want to knock on a parser that is just there to tell me I am doing an error when I am not even finished with writing the code.
Why though. It can tell you about errors in the code you just wrote. If it's telling you about errors that you know are only there because the code is not finished then you can just ignore them.

Also the parser works by partially compiling the code you just changed, making it very quick. You don't need to do a full recompile every time you change a big of code to know if there's a error or not that will prevent compilation.

>>57538139

We have to make a shell in my Systems programming class. How does this look?

>>57538846

>>57538884
awful

My python code is going through the wrong if for some reason. ord prints 90 and yet it goes through the first loop

So its a simple cesear shift. I wrote unittests for it and it fails shiftletter('Z',1) which should return 'A' but instead returns '['

def shiftletter(letter,shift):
    num = ord(letter)
    shift = shift % 26
    if num >= ord('a') & num <= ord('z'):
        num += shift
        if num > ord('z'):
            num -= 26
        return chr(num)
    elif num >= ord('A') & num <= ord('Z'):
        num += shift
        if num > ord('Z'):
            num -=26
        return chr(num)
    else:
        return letter

>>57538887
thanks

>>57538884
Why malloc? Just use a static buffer if you want to have limitations on the amount of characters.

Also you want to re-read the manual to fgets. You got a nice overflow in that code.

>>57538884

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    printf("Hello World");
}

There you go! :)

>>57538907
You are not using the logical AND operator here, you are using the binary AND operator.

Look up for yourself which one is the right one.

[1,2,3] is a vector with elements 1,2,3

dotProduct([1,2,3], [4,5,6]) = 1*4 + 2*5 + 3*6 = 4 + 10 + 18 = 32

dotProduct([5,1,0], [-1, 5, 9] = 5*(-1) + 1*5 + 0*9 = -5 + 5 + 0 = 0

When the dotProduct of two vectors is 0, then the two vectors are orthogonal. Otherwise they're something else.

Remember that characters in C can be seen as integers. Use sprintf() to convert integers to strings.

>>57538984
Doesn't matter, compiles to same thing any way

>>57538984

int main(void)

is literally the same as

int main()

include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <mpi.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv ){
    int id,comsize;
    char output[101*9];

    MPI_Init(&argc,&argv);
    MPI_Comm_rank(MPI_COMM_WORLD,&id);
    MPI_Comm_size(MPI_COMM_WORLD,&comsize);

    float range = 100.0f/(float)comsize;
    int start = (int)(range*(float)id+1);
    int end = (int)(range*((float)id+1));
    char buf[(int)(range*9)+1];

    int i,j;
    for (i=start,j=0;i<=end;++i,++j){
        if (i%3==0 && i%5==0) strcpy(&buf[j*9],"FizzBuzz\n");
        else if (i%3==0) strcpy(&buf[j*9],"Fizz\n");
        else if (i%5==0) strcpy(&buf[j*9],"Buzz\n");
        else sprintf(&buf[j*9],"%d\n",i);
    }

    MPI_Gather(&buf,(int)(range*9),MPI_CHAR,&output,(int)(range*9),MPI_CHAR,0,MPI_COMM_WORLD);    

    if (id==0){
        for (i=0;i<100;++i)
            printf("%s",&output[i*9]);
    }

    MPI_Finalize();

not that guy but it is not in <=ANSI C
so it only really matters if you program microcontrollers whos compiler was written 40 years ago desu

>>57539017
>>57539019
It's not, you C++-retard. A function without parameters in C takes a variable amount of arguments.

int main()

is UB, and the compiler is allowed to optimize the living shit out of your program for that.

In C++ functions with no parameters are equal to (void) functions in C.

Boys, I kinda need your assistance here. I have a deadline on friday for a crossplatform application. Some crypto innovation shit.

Custom openssl fork, custom openvpn fork etc. All is nice and quite on the linux front but as a fellow neckbearded basement dweller, I can't handle the windows shit.

Is there an anon lurking with cross-compiling openvpn for gaydows experience?

>>57539276
Why not set up a virtual machine with Windows and compile there? That's what I do. All the cross compiling shit never worked for me.

>>57539310
I would if I could.
https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/BuildingOnWindows

> This documentation is obsolete and only applies to some historical versions of OpenVPN. The current instructions for building OpenVPN for Windows are available here.

> Crosscompile only FML

>>57539338
OK, then I'd research how to set up mingw for your distro. The mingw gcc suite should allow you to compile on Linux for Windows.

>>57539355
Already provided by OpenVPN
But as soon as I switch to custom openssl, shit starts with undefined references to the new crypto functions. I have no clue which file formats mingw handles for linking

>>57539389
What error messages exactly?
Are you sure that you have set the cross-compiled libraries as target, and not the ones provided by your system?

Undefined reference error, aka linker not knowing where to find the new functions. On linux it works just fine but I guess the provided build script from openvpn fucks up configure.

I literally did all the steps in their guide
https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/BuildingUsingGenericBuildsystem
I replaced the sources with mine ofc

i'm implementing all the common data structures (in j*va) what bare minimum operations should i include for all of them though?

programming a photo cipher where messages are hidden in the rgb values of an image. I have that part along with ciphers like ceasar shift and such, and unit tests.

What else can I add to this project?

>>57538884
in Haskell this is just

main = forever (getLine >>= system)

In C++, whenever I implement functions in the header file I get errors about multiple definitions of them and need to change their definition to static. Are there any other ways of dealing with this problem?

Should I just put function prototypes and implement them in a separate .cpp? Seems slightly long for one-liner functions.

>>57539589
you got 2.5 options, make them static, or inline or move them into an anonymous namespace

>>57539589
Use inclusion guards you dummy

#ifndef __MY_HEADER_H__
#define __MY_HEADER_H__

inline int foo(int b) { 
    return b << 1; 
}

#endif

>>57539589
>whenever I implement functions in the header file

Don't do that unless those are template functions. Instead, put the interface into the header and the implementation into its own source file.

>>57539630
It's fine for one-liners and inlined functions too.

>>57539642
Yes, but then you have to declare them as static inline.

>>57539654
>static inline
No. static does not do what you think it does, unless it is within a class scope.

>>57534529

Why my fractal get pixelated after 47 zooms ? I think it has something to do with the maxium floating point or something like that

Also i feel like my code is shit, any idea to improve it ?

>>57539662
It can be that it does something else in C++ that I am not aware off - I just realized that I was stating this from a C perspective.

But in C it prevents the compiler to export such functions in the object files, which would later cause linking problems for the entire project.

Where do you think you are?

>>57539755
First:

Learn that fucking functions in C do require "void" if they take no arguments.

Second: <stdio.h> wasn't included.

Third:

$ gcc a.c b.c -o o -I .
/tmp/ccdjtfQ0.o: In function `foo':
bull2.c:(.text+0x0): multiple definition of `foo'
/tmp/ccwVn6Ft.o:bull1.c:(.text+0x0): first defined here
