Trying to wrap my head around how C handles headers.

Pic related is my setup for an implementation of linked lists. However, when I try printing the value of "p->Next", I get the following error (gcc)

Test_Poly.c:12:41: error: incomplete definition of type 'struct Node'
    printf("Address of p->next: %d\n", p->Next);
                                       ~^
./Polynomial_List.h:3:8: note: forward declaration of 'struct Node'
struct Node;

Why is this happening? Don't I include the header file, which specifies how Node should be built?
Using the following gcc command to compile:

gcc Polynomial_List.c Test_Poly.c

>>61875520
either say

export struct node;

in the header
or just define it in header fully

i think that would work

>>61875520
Can you please show the filenames of all the files you included

The top right header file just declares the existance of the struct Node, but doesn't declare what fields it has. The bottom right header file declares what fields it has.
In order to use fields such as ->Next, you need to include the bottom right file, and in order to use those functions you need to include the top right file.

>>61875619
nigga the file on the left includes the header
and he compiles both of the .cpp files
use your eyes

>>61875656
Okay so the bottom right file is a .c file but that's wrong, it needs to be a header file that the left file includes.

The key takeaway here is that compiling multiple C files at once is the same as compiling them seperately. So if you were to just say

gcc Test_Poly.c -c

then it has no way of knowing what ->Next is. So you need to tell it that information by declaring it in a header

552KB, 2612x1420px

>>61875619
Yeah sorry.

Left file is "Test_Poly.c"
Top right is the header file Polynomial_List.h
Bottom right is the implementation file Polynomial_List.c

>>61875675
I'm thinking of ways I can include both the implementation and header files, but I'm worried that might lead to duplicate symbols and leading to compiler errors

Not sure if this helps, but when I

#include "Polynomial_List.c"

int the left file, I get linker errors (duplicate symbols errors for the functions defined)

>>61875675
>it needs to be a header file that the left file includes.
but that's wrong
>>61875728
you're getting duplicate symbol errors because the poly-lists header should have a

#define Polynomial_List_H

right after the #ifndef
right now that #ifndef never does anything

>>61875728
pretty sure you want to do something like this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opaque_pointer

either define functions to return the inner values required or expose the struct definition in the header file

>>61875728
Don't include the header. There's no reason to have a header file anon. This isn't sepples. You only need header files when you are thinking about an interface and then you'll link against the .o file not the .c file.

>>61875728
Functions get compiled into assembly code, and if the same function gets compiled twice (which is what happens when you #include the .c file) then you get a linker error.

However, struct declarations are not compiled into anything. As long as each c file sees the same definition of a struct, you're good to go.
examples:

// a.c
void foo() {}

// b.c
void foo() { printf("yikes"); }

result: LINKER ERROR

// a.c
struct thing {
  int x;
};

void foo(struct thing) { printf("x = %d\n", thing.x); }

// b.c
struct thing {
  int x;
};

void foo(struct thing); // note: this is a DECLARATION not an IMPLEMENTATION

void bar() {
  struct thing;
  thing.x = 4;
  foo(thing);
}

result: x = 4 (GOOD)

// a.c
struct thing {
  int x;
};

// b.c
struct thing {
  double y;
};

result: this compiles, but is undefined behavior since a.c and b.c see different versions of struct thing. never do this.

>>61875756
Alright... I should have seen that coming, but unfortunately I don't think that did anything (see pic related)

>>61875778
I want to include header files because it makes it easier to organize imo.

>>61875799
>As long as each c file sees the same definition of a struct, you're good to go
But don't I do this? I have a declaration of a struct, and define it in an implementation file.

>>61875843
Each C file needs to see the definition of a struct. The only way it can "see" it is by having it be inserted into the file.

// a.c
struct thing { int x; }

// b.c
// note: does not #include anything
void foo() {
  struct thing t.
  printf("%d\n", t.x);
}


$ gcc a.c b.c
ERROR: b.c doesn't "see" the definition of the struct, so it doesn't know that the field .x exists

>>61875843
>But don't I do this?
i think the test-poly still sees the undefined struct, might be wrong

you should really be defining structs in the header, not in the .c file

>>61875869
>

>>61875843
Not the same anon but you just need to put the struct definition in the header, basically instead of this:

struct Node;

Put this:

struct Node
{
    int Coefficient;
    int Exponent;
    struct Node* Next;
};

And then get rid of the definition in the .c

>>61875520
The header defines a function the name of which should point somewhere. That somewhere would be a library file linked to your program.

Basically the header file does nothing but to announce the existence of the function, alone it's worthless. The library/binary file the function is in (if it's not called from the file itself) defines what the function is.

So for example

#include <stdio.h>

will bring in symbols from stdio, therefore tell (promise to) your program that the function printf (and every other in stdio) exists. Doing -lc when compiling (often done by default by your compiler) will have the program call the libc library in which it will find the actual printf function.

Netbeans-Cpp IDE is pretty comfy.

>>61875984
Emacs... So exactly what what you described.

On an unrelated note, anyone know why the value of p-> Next changes between a function call?

void Initialize(Polynomial p)
{
    p = (struct Node*) malloc( sizeof(struct Node));
    p->Next = NULL;
    printf("Printing P->NEXT: %d \n", p->Next);

}


int main()
{
    Polynomial p;

    Initialize(p);
    printf("Address of p: %d\n", p);
    printf("Address of p->Next: %d\n", p->Next);
}

And output is below:

Printing P->NEXT: 0  /* In function Initialize(p) */

/* In main */
Address of p: 136380470
Address of p->Next: -1991765899

if you want to change p's value use a pointer
pass the function &p and use it in the function as p*

I guess I just forgot about this because I was working with pointers and assumed I could change values will-nilly

>>61876049
My only concern is that it's not very prone to being expandable (what if you had 100 monster types? A gargantuan switch/case statement isn't exactly something you would want to type out)

I recommend having an array of structs and a file for monster names... But not really into game development (yet) so take my concern with a grain of salt

>>61876049

all pretty silly
it would be smarter to have a map that maps strings of monster names -> structs of monster stats

As weird as it sounds, knowing nothing about how the dev tools I'm using work under the hood leads to far greater productivity for me.

>Making programs for other people is for idiots.
That's pretentious as fuck. I write code for people who can't, but will pay me for my efforts. In turn I pay contractors, attourneys, doctors, etc. for services I need but don't have the time to become an expert on. Eventually you'll need to pay for someone to do something you can't. That doesn't make then superior to you, and you knowing how a computer works doesn't make you superior to others.

>>61875953
If you don't want to define Node in the header, you could also have used a function (inside the header) that took a struct Node pointer and returned the next of it. That's why the error existed. The struct definition was hidden inside the implementation, so the compiler doesn't know how to dereference it in main.

EVERYTHING in C is PASS-BY-VALUE. Which is why you pass pointers to stuff to save your results outside a function. You pass-by-value a pointer so that when you dereference it the memory pointed at is the same.

{
    Polynomial p = (struct Node*) malloc( sizeof(struct Node));
    p->Next = NULL;
    printf("Printing P->NEXT: %d \n", p->Next);

Isn't multiple inheritance the feature that's looked upon with disdain? And if I recall correctly, C++ is the only major OOP player that supports it.

>>61876548
Inheritance in general is viewed in a far more negative light than it used to be.

Extending functionality in a way that doesn't require dynamic dispatch is done with mixins or composition.

Dynamic dispatch is the only reason to model with inheritance, and it's not a very good one with today's languages.

A lot of people criticize multiple inheritance, whether or not that's fair is up for debate. Python also supports multiple inheritance. Java classes may implement multiple interfaces which is sorta like multiple inheritance.

But what we're talking about here is _not_ multiple inheritance. Multiple inheritance is when one class can have multiple parent classes. In this situation we're talking about one parent having many subclasses, which is considered perfectly fine among people who are into OOP.

There's a growing but still certainly minority opinion that inheritance in general is "bad". This is a position that's come out of seeing people abuse inheritance and a few vocal high-profile language designers advocate "composition over inheritance" which is not a blanket dismissal of inheritance but a statement that inheritance is not the solution to every situation where you want to reuse code.

>>61876667
Usually when I'm using a language I'm not sure familiar with, I scoure the documentation for something I want and if I don't find it very quickly I'll write it myself.

>>61876698
The java documentation is absolutely fucking garbage because you have to go to the parents of the parent of the grandparents to see wherever the fuck a method exists and its signature.

Rust is a meme. Improve yourself at C. Unless you want to waste time fighting the borrow and the lifetime checker and putting "unsafe" before writing C.

>>61876818
I've been using rust for a few days now and I only ever fought the borrow checker once; it seems more than obvious how it works, does it not?

>>61876846
Not for C weenies

>>61876818
>>61876846
I should also mention that it's very difficult to write C that does lots of buffer manipulation, whereas writing Rust that does so is trivial. So much so that it's easier to write Rust that does the heavy lifting and export unsafe C bindings.

>>61876846
It is. That's how you write C that doesn't segfault. No training wheels required.

>>61876818
Rust is fine for its purposes. I still use C heavily but that is mainly when doing embedded and other no-allocation based stuff.

I've written >10K+ lines of rust and haven't needed to use unsafe once at all. The borrow checker and all that isn't too big a deal I don't think, and I'd just advise people to make unnecessary clones when they start of to ease in to it.

The big boon to productivity for me is that it prioritizes performance in a way which I won't be stuck at some point in the future at some wall where I may otherwise be with something like python. That and the fact that libraries and the like are so much easier to use which makes it much easier for less low-level things like api-servers and the like.

There are some things I don't really like using it for but in general, it makes you feel confident in the small details and lets you focus on the actual program logic.

If Rust was just C with a borrow checker, I wouldn't use it.

in what case would this be helpful?
if you're passing to a function you're already copying, that's just how functions work
if you're not passing to a function and you're just working with it, why copy it
what use cases does this help exactly?

Wrote dependency resolution algorithm using preorders. The time complexity is probably terrible but it works well (and in this case n is usually small)
It's fairly elegant

  ;; evaluate a preorder using reflexivity + transitivity
  (define (dep<=? p1 p2) (dep>=? p2 p1))
  (define (dep>=? p1 p2)
    (or (equal? p1 p2)
        (ormap (λ (p1-) (dep>=? p1- p2))
               (hash-ref preorders p1 null))))

  ;; sort paths by preorder and return corresponding asts
  (map cdr (sort asts dep<=? #:key car))

arrays aren't copied when passed to functions

>>61877413
Literally the easiest parser there is. Start with an empty list and read each symbol.

Open paren -> create new list, append to parent, this is now the current list
Close paren -> append the current list to the parent list. Parent list is now the current list
any other symbol -> append it to the current list

Fun fact: for reasons of tradition lisp parsers are generally called "readers"

>>61877468
Seems wierd unless you knew what the largest such array could ever be or every such array had the same number of elements.

Should I proceed with CS degree or math degree if I want to work in crypto?

>>61877603
do you know of a lisp reader example written in C?

I've created s-exp readers in dynamic languages before but it's much, much easier there due to the ease of string manipulation

>>61877646
Do both. You'd probably have enough paper overlap that there is not much extra work at all. Are the departments separate where you are studying?

>>61877598
???
then why does this work?

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

void prtarr (int v[10]) {
    for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
        cout << v[i];
    }   
}

int main () {
    int b[10];
    for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
        b[i] = i;
    }   
    prtarr (b);
    return 0;
}

>>61877686
That declaration is deceptive and v decays to an int pointer.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1461432/what-is-array-decaying

If you want to enforce the size of the input array you can do something like this (in C99), but it still decays to a pointer to something like `sizeof(v)` will be the size of an int pointer so be wary.

void prtarr (int v[static 10]) {
    for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
        cout << v[i];
    }   
}

This will give an error if an array which cannot be determined at compile-time to contain 10 elements is passed. More elements is still fine so its not exact.

>>61877723

in a dynamic language, my usual parsing routine would consist of reading a big string from file, splitting it on space, using a regular language to classify the tokens, and then running a parsing algorithm on the token list, either a custom recursive descent parser, a generated one or an Earley with a custom grammar fed to it

It's been so long since I used C I don't even know how to load data from files anymore, so I just hardcoded a simple Lisp program in the source code. I don't know how to split this shit either, I don't have regular language support either... I'm basically fucked

ruby vs python vs perl

which should i learn to replace bash shell scripting for more power?

>>61877887
Ruby is great for Unix scripting, it's essentially a better perl. Has less libraries though.

Python has a shit ton of useful libraries of greatly varying quality from 10/10 to utter crap.

Perl is write-only programming language and is essentially Unix duct tape. A lot of libraries as well, but it's losing momentum compared to Python and even systems like Node.

>>61877882
What did you use to find the duplicates, MD5?
I remember trying to do that years ago, but it was slow a fuck.

>>61877861
I've never heard people talking about that before. I guess it is because it is not an ansi c thing

>>61877839
That's still pretty much the process. You know each step, you can look up how to do them.

Splitting strings means walking through the string, keep an index at where you start, advance until you find the next token you want to split on, copy between the current location and the previous index into the output list, and advance both indices to the same place. It's annoying if you're used to more robust string operations being part of the language but it's nothing to get intimidated by.

For token classification you can use a regex library or it's simple enough that you can do it yourself, you only need to recognize quotes, numerics, and parens to get something off the ground.

It'll be a lot of wrestling with C but it's the best way to learn.

>>61877960
>>61878000
I use them quite often. They shouldn't be used for unbounded and untrustworthy input, though.
There are many situations where you can reason about the max length of the array and safely use them, giving you much more performant code.

>>61877950
Yeah, it seems fast enough. I can search 280MiB across 1,958 files and 264 directories in ~1.5s. The hashing itself is about 300-400MiB/s. I experimented with some other hashing functions but couldn't get a significant speed increase and MD5 is simple enough for me to write my own implementation for, which probably helps with any licensing issues if I were to ever release the program as well as just the fact that it feels nice to write everything yourself.

>>61878246
With modern CPUs (anything from the last 10 years) I imagine you're probably being bottlenecked by how fast you can read the data rather than the speed of the hash calculation, even on an SSD.

with a while loop

>>61878342
Read a whole line, ignore the rest of it and use the first character.

You have to consume the extra characters in order for them not to get fed into your next std input usage.

>>61878432
Or validate based on the whole line, your choice. But the point is you have to consume the other characters.

>>61878966

Increased your buffer size because its not like you are strapped for memory.
Your conversion also is wrong and you only need to take the mod_min as your seconds. I think the following is what you want.
Also, you want to specify main as taking a single void parameter. Not specifying any parameters in C actually means something different (okay in C++ though).

#include <stdio.h>

const int CONVERSION = 60;

int main(void) {
    int begin_min, hour, mod_min;
    char user_min[32];

    printf("Enter mins: ");
    fgets(user_min, sizeof(user_min), stdin);
    sscanf(user_min, "%d", &begin_min);

    printf("%d\n", begin_min);

    hour = begin_min / CONVERSION;
    mod_min = begin_min % CONVERSION;

    printf(" Answer is %d hour and %d mins\n", hour, mod_min);
    return 0;
}

Learn basic procedural programming first, maybe something like C or Python. Then some basic functional after that.

I have to make an algorithm that takes a dictionary.txt file with a list of words separated by new lines and find the anagram that occurs the most.

It has to be O(M N) complexity, so using radix sort with counting sort I can achieve this.

Could anyone help me with how they'd do it? I'm struggling to get a grasp on the logic behind it as a sorted list will put all anagrams next to each other but they won't have been counted...

Rough pseudo code for the idea. Use a dictionary with a default value of 0 (i.e. a defaultdict in python).

max_word = ""

for word in words:
    w = sorted(word)
    m[w] += 1

>>61875520
>Trying to wrap my head around how C handles headers.
C handles headers (and all includes, the extension does not matter) by simple text concatenation. It simply adds the stuff from the included file right on the line it's included at. For instance, let's say we have two files, a.h and a.c:

/* a.h */

int
do_something()
{
    return 0;
}

/* a.c */

#include "a.h"

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    return do_something();
}

If we compile an object file with "a.c" as the source, it will actually look like this after the preprocessing:

int
do_something()
{
    return 0;
}

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    return do_something();
}

There's no magic there, just code being added to where ever you asked the compiler to add it.

>>61880136
This is the simple part, it becomes a headache when you start worrying about linkage.

What does ERROR_H *actually* define in a header file, like below?

#ifndef ERROR_H
#define ERROR_H
    /* eprintf.h: error wrapper functions */
    void eprintf(char *, ...);
    char *estrdup(char *);
    void *emalloc(size_t);
    void * erealloc(void *, size_t);
    void setprogname(char *);
    char * progname(void);
#endif

>>61880110
how would i go about doing that?

>>61880163
It defines the symbol for the preprocessor with no value. Any substitution later will be empty but the only important thing for a header guard is that the symbol is defined.

>>61880163
That's an include guard. The value of the define doesn't matter, all that matters is that it is actually defined. If it is, then the ifndef directive will skip over the body of the header file and avoid duplicate-definition errors in case the header is included a second time.
It's a common pattern, sometimes the #pragma once directive is used instead though.

>>61880177
That's for you to find out. You know how to read text, you know how to print text and you should know some looping and conditional constructs. That's enough to implement the rules of a simple game like tic-tac-toe.

>>61880155
Only if you make it unnecessarily complicated by declaring everything in different files. Just remember that since its all simple string concatenation, you can include a file anywhere, not just at the top of the file (for example, after having defined your data structures).

Generally I think people have a tendency to keep their source files unnecessarily small and that leads to those headaches you're referring to, not to mention actual performance issues of not being able to inline some functions for instance, simply due to bad project structure.

}

>>61880407
After preprocessing, the file will look like this.

printf();
// other definitions from stdio.h.

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    printf("%d\n", );
    return 0;
}

You can't have an empty argument like that.

regardless of what I name the main class "XXX". Since I'm just entering the code from the .java file, I guess it doesn't know what the main class should be called. If I try just entering the code within the class then it tells me I've got invalid syntax, so I know I'm nearly there, it's just getting hung up on the class name.

>Is there a super-minimal, modular version of TeX that can be easily embedded with one's preferred packages?
Yes. Read the pdf made by Donald. He explain everything.

>>61880774

I mean this:

#define __syscall_cp0(n) (__syscall_cp)(n,0,0,0,0,0,0)
#define __syscall_cp1(n,a) (__syscall_cp)(n,(long)(a),0,0,0,0,0)
#define __syscall_cp2(n,a,b) (__syscall_cp)(n,(long)(a),(long)(b),0,0,0,0)
#define __syscall_cp3(n,a,b,c) (__syscall_cp)(n,(long)(a),(long)(b),(long)(c),0,0,0)
#define __syscall_cp4(n,a,b,c,d) (__syscall_cp)(n,(long)(a),(long)(b),(long)(c),(long)(d),0,0)
#define __syscall_cp5(n,a,b,c,d,e) (__syscall_cp)(n,(long)(a),(long)(b),(long)(c),(long)(d),(long)(e),0)
#define __syscall_cp6(n,a,b,c,d,e,f) (__syscall_cp)(n,(long)(a),(long)(b),(long)(c),(long)(d),(long)(e),(long)(f))

#define __syscall_cp(...) __SYSCALL_DISP(__syscall_cp,__VA_ARGS__)
#define syscall_cp(...) __syscall_ret(__syscall_cp(__VA_ARGS__))

how the hell does it count arguments

>>61880778
>So how do we fix some of the type declaration syntax in C?
C needs no fixing.

>>61880821

#define __SYSCALL_NARGS_X(a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,n,...) n
#define __SYSCALL_NARGS(...) __SYSCALL_NARGS_X(__VA_ARGS__,7,6,5,4,3,2,1,0,)
#define __SYSCALL_CONCAT_X(a,b) a##b
#define __SYSCALL_CONCAT(a,b) __SYSCALL_CONCAT_X(a,b)
#define __SYSCALL_DISP(b,...) __SYSCALL_CONCAT(b,__SYSCALL_NARGS(__VA_ARGS__))(__VA_ARGS__)

It's a clever trick I have to admit.

>>61880778
I say we leave it as it is considering it makes complete sense.

>>61880778
This is wrong because

int[3][6] foo;

is indexed as

>>61880889
Returning a function pointer is a nightmarish clusterfuck.

>>61880876
can you explain how it works

>>61880926
You didn't really offer any improvement for function pointers. In fact, I think you made it more ambiguous for more difficult function pointers.

>>61880927
Here's how I see it:

#define __SYSCALL_NARGS_X(a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,n,...) n
#define __SYSCALL_NARGS(...) __SYSCALL_NARGS_X(__VA_ARGS__,7,6,5,4,3,2,1,0,)

__SYSCALL_NARGS("hello") becomes __SYSCALL_NARGS_X("hello",7,6,5,4,3,2,1,0,)
and with named arguments: __SYSCALL_NARGS_X(a="hello",b=7,c=6,d=5,e=4,f=3,g=2,h=1,n=0,), so the result of this macro is 0 since n=0

__SYSCALL_NARGS("hello","world") becomes __SYSCALL_NARGS_X("hello","world",7,6,5,4,3,2,1,0,)
and with named arguments: __SYSCALL_NARGS_X(a="hello",b="world",c=7,d=6,e=5,f=4,g=3,h=2,n=1,...), so the result of this macro is 1 since n=1

That about sums it up.

>>61880960
At a guess I'd choose a style like

int(int, int) fptr;

to declare a function pointer but I'm not sure if that's any better. I haven't thought it through.

>>61880984
I think that with something like this you'll run into clearly ambiguous syntax with pointer to function that returns pointer to function that returns pointer to function.

>>61881010

int i;
char c;
short s;
double(int)(char)(short) fptr = getFptr();
double(char)(short) fptr2 = fptr(i);
double(short) fptr3 = fptr2(c);
double d = fptr3(s);

>>61881072
Now you're asking for way more than just a new syntax for function declaration.

>>61881085
>>61881072
And in addition to that, you haven't even demonstrated a function that returns a pointer to function. All your functions return double and you just used your new feature you came up with that creates a function that returns double from another function that returns double.

>>61881072
You misunderstand what I'm trying to express here.
a value of type

double(int)(char)(short)

is a function pointer that takes an int and returns a function pointer which takes a char and returns a function pointer which takes a short and returns a double. In other words:

int i;
char c;
short s;
double(int)(char)(short) fptr = getFptr();
double d = fptr(i)(c)(s);

This is all speculative shit I don't really know what I'm doing. I'm not the original person who complained about C declarator-style syntax.

>>61881085 >>61881103
not >>61881072
but like I said in >>61880778 function pointers are just hard to think up a new fitting syntax for.

>>61881146
Yeah, and my point is suggested "improvements" to C are not actually improvements at all, since what we have now makes no less sense than your suggestions.

>>61881137 is directed towards >>61881085 >>61881103

I dunno, it makes sense to me.

>>61881137
>>61881195
I know perfectly well what you're doing. You're suggesting the way Haskell handles function arguments. Calling a func(a,b) with just one argument creates a new function, func(b). There are plenty of reasons why this has no place in C, but that's not even the point. A function that returns pointer to the function is not what you are suggesting. A function that accepts 2 arguments can as a result of its execution return a pointer to a function that accepts 10 arguments.

>>61881231
I don't know Haskell and have only a vague idea of functional programming concepts. For me this is just a novice with a thought experiment.
>Calling a func(a,b) with just one argument creates a new function, func(b)
No, there isn't currying or partial application. A function call would be complete just like in C,

void(int)(int)

requires two distinct calls and

void(int, int)

requires one. Nothing changes but the syntax for types.

Came back from work a few moments ago. Rate my 9th C++ program.

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
using namespace std;

int generate_random_value()
{
    return (rand() % 100) + 1;
}

int get_int()
{
    int result;
    cin >> result;
    return result;
}

/*
 * Returns 1 if y, else 0
 */
int get_yn()
{
    char input;
    cin >> input;
    if (input == 'y' || input == 'Y') return 1;
    else return 0;
}

void check_loop(const int determined_val)
{
    cout << "Cheat: it's " << determined_val << endl;
    cout << "Enter your guess [1-100]: " << endl;
    while (true) {
        int response = get_int();

        if (response > determined_val) {
            cout << "Too big!" << endl;
            continue;
        } else if (response < determined_val) {
            cout << "Too small!" << endl;
            continue;
        } else if (response == determined_val) {
            cout << "Correct!" << endl;
            break;
        } else {
            cout << "Error detected, exiting..." << endl;
            exit(0);
        }
    }
}

int main()
{
    cout << "Welcome to the number guessing game. " << endl;
    while (true) {
        int random_value = generate_random_value();
        check_loop(random_value);
        cout << "Do you wish to continue? [y/N] :";
        if (get_yn() == 0) {
            break;
        }
    }
    return 0;
}

>>61881300
All right, I did misunderstand then.

So

void(int,int,int,int,int,int,int,int,int,int)(int,int) func

would be a function that accepts 2 arguments and returns a pointer to a function that accepts 10 arguments (returning void). I'll think about it.

>>61881338
What is your current occupation?

>>61881393
employed haskell programmer

>>61881363
It's the other way around, actually. It accepts 10 arguments and returns a fptr that accepts 2 arguments.

int i;
void(int,int)(int) fptr;
fptr(i, i)(i);

I still think that specifying the types based on how you use them is a good idea. It talked about how it gets confusing with arrays here >>61880926 if you do it in a "dumb" way by just popping off the right hand side rather than making the declaration match the usage like in C.
You'd declare a pointer to int as

*int ptr;

to

int* ptr;

too.

>>61881462
I thought I was following the K&R style...

>>61881474
you are. don't listen to that anon

>>61881231
not >>61881137 but I assume it works like:

double first(short, int) {
    return 1.0;
}

double(short, int) second(char, int) {
    return &first;
}

double(short, int)(char, int) third(short, char, int) {
    return &second;
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    int i1, i2, i3;
    char c1, c2;
    short s1. s2;
    double(short, int)(char, int)(short, char, int) fptr1 = &third;
    double(short, int)(char, int) fptr2 = fptr1(s1, c1, i1);
    double(short, int) fptr3 = fptr2(c2, i2);
    double value = fptr3(s2, i3);
    double value2 = fptr1(s1, c1, i1)(c2, i2)(s2, i3);
}

>>61881409
Your way makes zero sense.

>>61881532
I don't think you declare a function pointer like that.
A pointer to first would look like

double (*fptr)(short, int);

>>61881559
it's speculating about an alternative.

>>61881565
My bad.

>>61881409
Right. That way you declare the function and use it with same order, func(10 args)(2 args).

>>61881565

I'm probably going to end up writing to a file when I press the volume change keys and watching that instead but I would like a less hacky way if it's possible.

I haven't done C++ in a while but, for starters, you might want to replace that switch with an array of strings.
E.g:

string get_type_string(monster_t m){
    string[] name = {
        "ogre",
        "orc",
        "dragon",
        "Giant spider",
        "slime"
    };
    
    return name[m];
}

Even then, you might want to take that list out of the function and have it be global or in its own header or something.

Scheme is cool, but irdis and shen are fucking useless, and learning both is even more useless. Irdis is slow with a shitty syntax. Shen isn't all too bad, but it's not necessary when you can just use Scheme in it's place.

text colors are harder to distinguish with a bright color scheme than with a dark one, making working with it more straining. furthermore, small characters or marks like dots are more difficult to perceive when blurred (through e.g. poor eyesight) on a bright background compared to a dark one.
