I didn't give it a lot of thought, but I haven't done a lot of
refactoring of C projects.  My experience is of course not universal,
and may not be representative.

I don't recall refactoring existing code, primarily because the
original programmers used multiple translation units logically
dividing the code into functionly related segments, where necessary,
from the start.

Likewise for new projects, whether C or C++, independent translation
units within the application have been, and are de rigueur.

There are various forces that influence the partitioning of programs
into multiple .c files.  These forces can change over the life of a
project, as the code evolves.  An obvious one is that as code is
added, a single .c file can grow to the point of being overly large,
and dividing it into two or three seems like a good idea.

Having said that, I don't remember it ever being a big deal.  If
some source file needs to be subdivided, you simply subdivide it
and move on.  The effort needed to do re-partitioning is a small
fraction of the overall code development effort.  Not worth
worrying about.

A source file isn't a translation unit. A translation unit is the 
primary source file with all the includes flattened out (and I guess 
with all the comments removed and all macros expanded), and that does 
not happen until compile time.

It's not what I see whan I look at file.c in my editor.

Now you're going to tell I'm wrong according to the standard.

You've never had a module - sorry source file - sorry 'translation unit' 
get too big for one file?

But you will surely know everything that might need doing if a such a 
file needs splitting into two or more files.

My point had been that in my module scheme, it would be less work.

You know what, if all possible answers to all C-related questions were 
contained within the C standard, why does this group even exist?

Just post a link to the standard document and be done with it.

That's basically correct, and consistent with the definition in
the standard.

No, you're right according to the standard.  Your record of
incorrectly guessing what I think is unbroken.

I speculated that, in your vague complaint about splitting something
something you don't know what to call, you might have been talking
about translation units.  Apparently you weren't.  Apparently you
meant to talk about splitting a source file, but you had difficulty
expressing it.

Good for you.

So you don't have a problem you're trying to solve, and you don't
want advice about how to do something.

This group exists because not all possible answers to all C-related
questions are contained within the C standard.  You pretend that
someone has made such a ridiculous claim, but unless I missed
something nobody has.

I'll try this again.  You claimed that C "pretends to be a safe
language".  That was a false claim.  Will you either provide evidence
that it was correct or acknowledge that it was incorrect?

It happens that the first few paragraphs of Annex K are relevant
to your statement.  If you inferred from that remark that I think
"all possible answers to all C-related questions were contained
within the C standard", that was a very wrong and silly inference.

I expect that you will refuse yet again to respond, but I'm prepared to
be pleasantly surprised.

You keep forgetting context. It was a throwaway remark in a brief 
discussion WH and I were having about module schemes.

(And I still don't know what to call a 'primary source file'; that is, 
one of these files:

   gcc one.c two.c three.c

and not a .h file, or a .c or other file that is included indirectly.)

I've glanced at appendix K.1 and saw nothing relevant there. It's about 
exceeding arrray bounds.

I assuming that doing that would UB.

My question was (it is always important to keep conext!):

 > So, C can be unsafe even when you avoid all UB? Examples?

Really it comes down to what 'unsafe' means in a language, and in C, 
whether it is tied to UB or can be more general.

But since 'unsafe' is not defined in the standard (not in N1570 anyway, 
where it used casually on only one instance), I expect you don't know, 
and wouldn't want to speculate.

You said something about modules.  I said that C doesn't have
modules.  You misinterpreted my statement to mean that I was
telling you you shouldn't use the word "module" when discussing C.
The actual implication, which I stated in a followup, is that I
don't know what you mean by "module".

You could have simply explained what you meant.

You could call it "a C source file (not a header file)", or "a .c file".

Your false claim was that C "pretends" to be a safe language.
The first subsection of Annex K acknowledges a number of ways in
which C can be unsafe.  This directly contradicts your claim.

That's a question you asked later.  I didn't answer it because I
didn't find it interesting, and I was still trying to get you to
acknowledge that your earlier claim that C "pretends" to be safe
was incorrect.  I am not surprised that you are still dancing around
and avoiding addressing that issue.

As usual, your expectations about me are wrong.

You've asked "So, C can be unsafe even when you avoid all UB?
Examples?".  I have an answer to that.  (I have an example that
I've posted here recently.  I'm going to assume one example is
sufficient.)

Earlier, you claimed that C pretends to be safe.  I will answer
your question (quoted in the previous paragraph) only after you
address that claim.  Do you still falsely claim that C pretends
to be safe?  Do you acknowledge that you were wrong?  Was it a
deliberate exaggeration?  Was it a deliberate lie?

Your exact words were:

    C pretends to be a safe language by saying all those naughty
    things are UB and should be avoided, at the same time, C
    compilers can be made to do all that.

People keep jumping to conclusions without asking for clarification. 
This is what I said (quite a few posts back):

 >C pretends to be a safe language by saying all those naughty things 
are UB and should be avoided, at the same time, C compilers can be made 
to do all that.

(I see now you quoted this yourself; I can have saved some time!)

The assumption made here is that unsafe-ness arises in C from UB. Then I 
suggest that, while the language itself washes it hands of it, it lets 
the compiler do the dirty work (as well as pushing the responsibility to 
the user, by allowing the compiler to do something that is UB).

In a later follow-up to you I ask:

 >So, C can be unsafe even when you avoid all UB? Examples?

And yet later I ask for clarification for what it means to be 'unsafe' 
and gave some examples of my own. I don't recall that being answered.

> Do you still falsely claim that C pretends
> to be safe?

"When you avoid all UB". You keep forgetting this bit.

Well, first tell me what it means for a language to be 'unsafe'. That 
term has not been defined. Is it only what happens when UB is invoked, 
or can it be at any time?

If you think I was wrong, then you can politely suggest that and offer 
some enlightenment. Why become aggressive and give me the third degree? 
Sometimes I feel like I'm in the dock.

So, reading between the lines, you seem to be suggesting that C /can/ be 
an unsafe language (whatever that means) whether or not UB is involved.


>  Do you acknowledge that you were wrong?  Was it a
> deliberate exaggeration?  Was it a deliberate lie?

Please stop this. If you don't agree with what I said, then post a 
couner-argument.

You should also look at the context: I was explaining the various 
underhand, 'unsafe' things that are possible in C, which give it an edge 
over competitors for systems work, then I suggest that many of those are 
likely to be UB so not officially sanctioned.

Phew! (Mopping sweaty brow with a handkerchief.)

You appear to be making the assumption either that C's only
unsafe-ness arises from UB, or that someone else is making that
assumption.  I don't know where you got that idea.

C does not pretend to be a safe language.  Nobody that I'm aware
of pretends that C is a safe language.  The C standard explicitly
acknowledges some of the ways in which C can be unsafe.  Undefined
behavior is not the only way in which C can be unsafe.  I'm not
aware that anyone has claimed that it is.

No, I'm not forgetting it.  You claimed that "C pretends to be a
safe language".  It does not.  You claimed that C pretends to be a
safe language by [doing certain things].  Since C does not pretend
to be a safe language, how it does so is irrelevant.

C programs can be unsafe.  C programs that exhibit no undefined
behavior can be unsafe.  Nobody has pretended otherwise.

I've tried that.  It does not result in you acknowledging that you've
made an incorrect claim.

OK.  You claimed that C pretends to be a safe language.  C does not
pretend to be a safe language.  I've posted counter arguments to your
false claim.  It doesn't work.

I've made mistakes and acknowledged them when corrected.  You've
made mistakes and refused to acknowledge them when corrected.
This damages your credibility.  I would have expected you to care
about that.

You are seriously confused by what other people consider as
"safe language".  First, I do not think it is possible to
give satisfactory definition of safety, either get the idea
or not.  One popular attempt at definition is that language
is safe if no untrapped errors are possible.  Of course, this
definition has trouble because then one needs to say what
an error is.  Resonable definition could be that there is an
error if program is doing different thing than intended by
its creator.  But as you noted there are errors that
language implementation can not reasonably detect so clearly
attempt above + this definiot on error is not satisfactory.
So we need to restrict what we consider to be an error.
When talking about language safety posible (and popular)
approach is restrict errors to things that break language
rules, like using out of bound array indices or overflow
in C signed arithmetic.

Now, if you look at UB, UB in particular means that
implementation is not obliged to detect errors.  So
UB in language definition means that language is more
or less unsafe.

I think that your formulation "allowing the compiler to do
something that is UB" is quite misleading.  Standard says
that some things are UB.  If UB appears in a program, it
is programmer who put it there.  Essential part of UB is
that it is programmer responsibility to avoid UB.
Specific compiler may be helpful by detecting UB or
defining some useful behaviour, but in general compiler
is allowed to proceed blindy, trusting that there are
no UB in the source.

Coming back to safety, definig errors as violations of
language rules is not fully satisfactory too.  Namely,
using language that "allow anything", like assembler,
there will be no violation of language rules, but clearly
such language does not help in detecting error.  So
to meaningfuly talk about language safety there must
be rules such that some classes of error lead to
violation of rule and violation must be detected.  C
has type rules and violations of type rules will
detect some errors at compile time.  But by design C
does not require any error detection at runtime so
clearly is unsafe.

Now, unqualified "safe" is really a fuzzy concept, as
there is no hope of detecting all errors and while
detecting some errors is theoretically possible
cost of checking could be prohibitive.  So basically
"safe" boils down to "due diligence": language rules
forbid things that are recognized as likely to be
errors and language uses state of the art methods
to detect or prevent violations of the rules.
Let me add that basically from time where Pascal
were invented it was known how to define a language
rich enough to do most real world task, having rules
which eliminate substantial fraction of errors and
where _all_ violations of language rules are detected.
So languages that allow undetected violations of rules
are consdered more or less unsafe.

This may be strictly true, but it is a trivial statement that
conveys no useful information.  This is what I was trying to get
at elsewhere in the thread with the `realloc` example.

Consider this program fragment:

	if (p != NULL)
		free(realloc(p, 0));

I claim, excepting allocation failures, this is,
1. Well-defined in C90.
2. IB in C17, and
3. UB in C23.

In C90, the return value from `realloc` is IB, but will either
be NULL or a unique pointer (if we accept for a moment that
failure of a zero-size allocation does not happen).  In either
case the behavior of `free` is well defined; if `realloc`
returns NULL, "no action occurs."  Otherwise, it's argument is
obviously a pointer returned form `realloc` and the argument
will be `freed`, whatever that means for an object of zero-size.
Further, `realloc` is explicitly documented to free `p` in this
case, since size is 0 and p is not null, which we know from the
immediately preceding `if` statement.

In C17, the standard is explicit that whether or not `p` is
freed when size is 0 is IB, and it is known that there are
implementations that do not free it in that case.

In C23, the behavior when size is 0 is explicitly undefined.

Admittedly this is a weird program to write.  However, I believe
that, barring allocation failures for zero-sized allocations,
the behavior of this program is well-defined if following C90,
and UB in C23.  So the programmer who wrote this, presumably
doing their very best to faithfully follow the letter of the
standard as written at the time and ensure well-defined
behavior, will find this changed now.

It is, of course, strictly true that the programmer introduced
the UB; after all, the program would not exist (with UB or not)
had they not written it.  But again, that's not a useful
statement.

>example
>Essential part of UB is
>that it is programmer responsibility to avoid UB.

See above.

>Specific compiler may be helpful by detecting UB or
>defining some useful behaviour, but in general compiler
>is allowed to proceed blindy, trusting that there are
>no UB in the source.

In fact, it kind of has no other choice, because C is not rich
enough to do anything else.

C code is full of things like, `memcpy(dst, src, len);`.  This
function is just dangerous; there are so many ways that it can
fail:

1. Either `dst` or `src` could be invalid pointers (NULL,
   dangling, uninitiazed; whatever).
2. `dst` may not be writable.
3. `src` may not be readable (C has no real notion of this, but
   write-only and execute-only memory is absolutely a thing).
4. Even if `src` and `dst` are valid, the language provides no
   means to guarantee that the range bounded by `len` is valid
   for both: it could overlap, span over multiple objects, and
   so on.

There is no possible, universally "correct" thing C could do
here.  And how any of those things impact the actual program
varies between systems.  Moreover, there's no way that these can
be detected ahead of time.  So what else _can_ the language do,
other than declaring the effect of all of the above to be
"undefined?"

... but then you do a very good job of demonstrating why anyone could be 
confused!
But thank you engaging in the topic and providing some examples.

Assembly language is a good one. Clearly it does have some rules, but if 
some program manages to assemble, it doesn't mean it has no bugs, 
including dangerous ones.

Other languages will have a line drawn elsewhere, as they have more 
rules, stricter typing etc. Some, like Rust, which /people/ sometimes 
claim will give you bug-free programs once you managed to get it to 
compile, have it near the opposite end.

To get back to C and UB, if that 'safe' line isn't on the boundary 
between non-UB and UB, then what does the boundary mean? Is it just 
deterministic vs. non-deterministic behaviour?

This is back to the other topic as to what makes a practical systems 
language.

No one who programs seriously ever claims that.

Certainly, no one working on Rust claims that.

Nor does anyone who works on Ada, Eiffel, or any number of other
languages that claim safety properties.

It may be that true that some undefined group of "people" make
that claim for Rust (or Ada, or Eiffel, etc) "sometimes".  But
anyone who makes that claim seriously is uninformed, and you
should not listen to them.

Again, you need to provide the definition of "safe" that you are
using to try and make that distinction.  No one can read your
mind to divine what you are thinking.

That is a broad topic and certainly beyond the scope of
comp.lang.c.

Rust claims that if you stay withing safe subset, then your program
will have no memory errors.  That is it will only access memory that
it allocated and access it as correct type (and a bit more but
I am skipping details).  So no things like executing string obtained
from the user as machine code (popular technique for breaking into
systems).

As I wrote, safety is about ability to avoid or detect errors.
And there is no well defined boundary, researchers constanty try
to push the boundary.  You can add some fancy hardware to detect
new classes of errors and mandate that all language implementations
use this hardware.  People invent new ways of checking things
at runtime.  People invent new proof-like methods to make
sure at compile time that some problems will not appear at
runtime.  There is a lot of heuristic/statistical approaches
which try to reduce number of errors (without any warranty
that they will eliminate all problems even in some restriced
class).

Concerning determinstic, there is corelation between deterministic
and safe, but they are not the same thing.  It is easier to
deal with deterministic systems, which may increase safety.
But other factors are _much_ more important, so deterministic
alone is not warranty of safety.  OTOH non-deterministic
behaviour may be desirable or unavoidable and such system
can have strong safety features.

With current state of art, if you need to work with hardware,
then you need unsafe features.  Modern tendency is that only
operating system (including device drivers) has "unrestricted"
access to hardware (I put unrestricted in quotes to account
for things like hypervisors).  At higer level it seems that
safe languages allow to do all needed work.  Of course, this
may require more effort from programmers, but that is managable
and there are indications that on average safe languages
may require less effort.  There may be loss of efficiency.
C++ preached safe and "zero runtime cost", but in reality
safety features have some overhead.  You seem to be quite
satified having half of speed of optimized C.  It seem that
safe languges can deliver that.  The battle is about last
few percent of preformanmce and there are disagreements if
those last few percents matter.

Anyway, once you are above OS level languages like SML or
OCaml add strong safety features and offer performace within
small factor around preformance of optimized C.  Languages
based on JVM claim slightly better performance and comparable
safety.  Those languages depend on garbage collection which may
introduce unacceptable delays.  But there are now methods
to make delays smaller (used in Erlang and Go), and
methods that burn more machine cycles but completely eliminate
delays (parallel garbage collection).  Rust got a lot of
good press because it promises memory safety (which previously
needed garbage collector) for manual memory management.

Concerning "system programming", for long time many developers
believed that safety is needed only in very special applications
and that in general purpose systems bugs are tolerable.
Internet slightly challenged this, highliting need for
security.  But even after industry got serious about security,
they still considered language safety almost as unneeded
luxury.  That changed in recent times.  There is one thing
when Joe Random Hacker encrypts disk of user computer and
demands ransom, basically all powers that could change this
considered such things as user problem.  But now hackers from
hostile country can break critical systems (shut down
electricity in whole county, destroy electric plants, stop
vital pipeline from operationg, etc) and goverments got
more serious.  I am not sure what is current state of
relevant regulations, but there were proposals to
mandate use of languages possesing safety features
(in particular memory safety).  So, it is possible that
memory safety safety will be considered as necessary
feature of a practical system language.

On benchmarks. In my real programs, the difference in usually narrower.

/My/ safer language is a scripting one, yet it can do low-level stuff 
too. It's safer because of things like bounds-checking, and also because 
most explicit pointer use disappears.

However it is also dynamic and interpreted, and that makes it 10-30 
times slower than optimised C.

(My current project hopes to close that gap. So far it made it wider!)

I've played with my friend's laptop (only used for browers, email etc), 
and my stuff ran 70% faster.

So if I really needed the speedup, I can just switch machines.

My first microprocessor machine had 32KB RAM, and very poor, unreliable 
storage so that I kept compiler and source code in memory as much as 
possible.

However, a bug in the program being run could easily out wipe not only 
the compiler but my unsaved source code!

Solution: since it was 2 x 16KB memory banks, I put a write-protect 
switch on the half with compiler and source code.

With these hackers, why are critical systems connected to the public 
internet in the first place?

Can they do that; generally? - My experience is that it depends
on who has done, and who is accountable for the systems setups.
And it depends on the requested and applied national standards.

Good question; for those systems where that is the case.

The reality looks different. Or, rather; it depends on where you
look into. (Our country is very keen of its security standards.)

But then, there's also critical infrastructure that is inherently
"connected to the public internet", for example because its task
is no connect the public or provide public services.

Nuclear plants (and other critical infrastructure) certainly don't
need their _control system_ be "connected to the public internet".
There's applied and long existing security concepts established.

Alas, contemporary IT-systems' evolution seems to start disrespect
such long existing expertise and wisdom. The good thing is, though,
that there's still instances who have a close look at the evolution.

In the functional programming community the usual statement is
"Well-typed programs cannot go wrong."  I think a good way of
understanding this is that, if a program stays inside the
safe limits of the language, the program can produce wrong
answers, but it cannot produce meaningless answers.

Of course, that has nothing to do with failing hardware, etc.

This is only concerning _type safety_.

Robin Milner made the, "well-typed programs cannot go wrong"
statement as an informal description of the meaning of a
"Semantic Soundness Theorem", which is described (slightly) more
formally to mean, "a well-typed program is semantically free of
type violation."  Roughly speaking, this means that, given a
"phrase" P in the language, and some "basis" B denoting the
current _state_ of a program, then if the inputs to P have
proper types with respect to the semantics defined by the
languge, then when P is "applied" to B, the output is a
new basis, B', that will itself be properly typed: B |- P => B'.
That is, if for a given operation the inputs all have the
"expected" types with respect to the semantics of that operation
then the output will also be of the expected type with respect
to those semantics.  For example, if I add two integers, I get
an integer, but perhaps I can't add two pointers together,
because the result doesn't make any sense semantically: the
result has no type, which Milner illusted with an untyped,
unrepresentable, hypothetical object he called "wrong";
semantically meaningless phrases are defined to have no type,
thus matching "wrong".  Hence, semantically well-typed programs
could not be "wrong".

Of course, to for the semantic soundness theorem to be
meaningful, a language must have formally defined semantics.

SML is an example of such a language: it is formally described
by its grammar and a well-defined operational semantics, but C
(as an extreme counter point) is not: C has no formal semantics:
it is informally defined in terms of an "abstract virtual
machine" that is itself informally described by the C standard.

>I think a good way of
>understanding this is that, if a program stays inside the

>answers, but it cannot produce meaningless answers.

No.  It simply means that if all inputs to all operations type
check (say, the arguments to a function call are the correct
types with respect to the function's definition), then the
outputs will type check (the return value will be of the correct
type, as defined by the function): the program will be
"well-typed".  Type safety, alone, has little bearing on overall
correctness beyond that.

What the "safe limits" of the language are is undefined this
context, so itself meaningless.  And what has meaning in terms
of the output of a program similarly.  For example, a perfectly
type safe function in SML is: `fun squarerootpos (a:int) = ~1;`

This is function, when applied to any datum of type `int`, will
always produce a number of type `int`, but that number has no
meaning (it is always arbitrarily -1, which is not the positive
square root of any integer).

>Of course, that has nothing to do with failing hardware, etc.

Type safety is only one aspect of safety.  There are others as
well, of course that can (up to a limit) be checked by the
language: memory safety, concurrency safety (perhaps as defined
by data-race freedom) and so on.

At some point, one must draw a line at what the language can do
on your behalf.  If a program starts poking at a debugging
interface (like opening `/dev/mem` on Linux and poking around)
to subvert itself outside of the watchful eye of the language,
then all bets are off: but a general purpose language cannot
possibly guard against all such scenarios.
