This sub-thread was comparing package management with a simple 
downloadable executable.  All I've said is the latter is fine for a 
single platform, single use case situation but not for something more 
generic.  Nothing more, nothing less.

Even in a simple case from an administration point of view, having to go 
to multiple places for downloads is a real PITA.  Anyone who has had to 
maintain windows systems used to build complex systems would agree...

So, what does that mean, that the package install system won't work any 
more?

Yet I manage to download a program, compile it (albeit with gcc 4.4, and 
a program that doesn't depend on a specific OS or version) and run it.

So it sounds like it can be advantageous not to be tied to such a system.

If a new C feature was introduced (say, entering constants in ternary), 
I could download my compiler (assuming I had one targeting this machine 
or one targetting standard C) with that feature very quickly so that 
people could make use of it.

But that feature might only be in the latest 7.xx gcc which might be 
impossible to install on an obsolete OS. Simplicity wins.

What it means is that there are no longer any new versions of the
currently installed software that are compatible with Ubuntu 10.04.
You're stuck with the last version that was delivered before it went out
of support. For many kinds of software, that's fine - it will never work
any better than it did before, but it works well enough to be useful.
However, many kinds of software are vulnerable to malware, and for such
software, it's a very bad idea to fall behind in the updates, which
might contain fixes to malware vulnerabilities. You have to upgrade to a
current version of Ubuntu before Software Updater will be able to find
new updates.

Indeed, but I was matching the tone of the thread...

I am not following this discussion so closely, and I don't know what Bart
wants to say.
However, I would like some standardization for tools as well.

For instance.

#pragma dir "Dir\"

this could be used to define includes. 

and this:

#pragma source "file1.c"
#pragma source "*.c"

could create group of files for compilation.

Visual studio has:

#pragma comment(lib, "Comctl32.lib")

This includes the library "Comctl32.lib" 

This king of pragma also could be standardized:

#pragma lib "Comctl32.lib" 
#pragma libdir "dir\" 


Having this feature we could add a library using it's include.

#include "lib.h" 

If we put 
#pragma lib "Comctl32.lib" inside lib.h there is no need for 
additional configuration.
Better than this the tools and build on different platforms
can converge.

I merely hope that you'll realise that none of that is ever going to

Even passing a 2D array to a subroutine is too complicated in C89, and
the C11 method isn't widely enough supported. There's also a subtle problem
with the typedef system which I keep understanding then forgetting,
something to do with the type of grammar that describes C.

However in my view the real problem isn't convoluted type, but type aliasing
(a Malcolm term). Use of more than one type to describe the same thing.

What's the difference?  Every compiler supports the C89 method (and it's
still valid in C11) so I'd opt for that every time.

You probably mean the fact that once a name has been defined as a type
it plays a different syntactic role compared to other identifiers.
Normally

  x f(void) { return 42; }

is a syntax error, but when preceded by typedef int x; it's fine.

Yes, it means that the grammar isn't what is called "context free" which
has big implications, but I forget the details.

Just for curiosity, this was one of the latest bugs in my parser 
associated with the grammar and constrains.

typedef int X;
void F(X X){ }
I was considering the second X as a type. To fix the problem
I have to "build the type while it is valid"

The "big implications" are that it's a little tricky to implement a
parser for C.  The parser needs feedback from the symbol table.  This is
because typedefs were added relatively late, on top of an existing
grammer that was, as far as I know, context free.

It's mildly annoying, but it's a solved problem.

main annoyance:
* the need to lookup typedefs when parsing declarations.
* can't parse things correctly when the typedef isn't visible.

some newer languages use a trick:
if it is used in a case where it "looks like a type", it is assumed to 
be a type.

for example:
   x i;
assumes 'x' is a typedef, because it can't validly be anything else.


similar trick can be employed when parsing C (as a parser speedup), but 
checking for typedefs can't be fully eliminated due to cases where it 
isn't possible to determine purely from syntax whether the token is 
intended to be a typedef name or an identifier.

similarly, one can eliminate cases where the token can be assumed to not 
be a typedef (and skip doing a lookup), but this can lead to mis-parsing 
in some contrived edge cases.

these assumptions "basically hold" for most real code though (if albeit 
needing to deal with things like implicit int and K&R decl syntax don't 
exactly help matters here).


in other languages, one can instead define the rules as such to disallow 
cases where it is ambiguous (and pass blame onto the programmer for 
writing things which don't parse correctly according to these rules).

Do you have an example of such a language?

In most non-C-derived languages I'm familiar with, the issue doesn't
arise in the first place.

In ancient C, before the addition of typedefs, a type name could
always be recognized by the use of certain keywords.  For example,
"int" and "char" are reserved words, not ordinary identifiers.
The addition of typedefs meant that a single identifier could be
a type name, and parsing became a bit more complicated so it could
recognize them.

Many other languages have a grammar designed from the beginning so
that a single identifier can be a type name.

For example, in C:

    foo(x);

can't be parsed without knowing whether "foo" is a type name or not.
In Ada:

    X: Foo;

The compiler doesn't need to assume that Foo is a type name,
because that's the only thing it can be.  It only needs to check
whether the name Foo is visible, and if so whether it's legal to
define an object of that type.

C#, more or less.

also my BGBScript and BGBScript2 languages also work this way.


while conceivably Java could be made to work this way, IIRC javac works 
instead by scanning directories (eg: "Foo" is a valid type-name if it 
finds "Foo.class" or "Foo.java" in one of the imported 
package-directories or similar).

yeah.

it is simpler, granted, to have a syntax which is easier to parse.

for example, JS and earlier forms of BGBScript used:
   var x:Foo;
and:
   function Foo(x:int):void { ... }

later on, it supported both this and Java style syntax, but the former 
had remained dominant.

BS2 can support both, but I instead ended up mostly just doing Java/C# 
style declaration syntax for this language instead.

The implications are largely theoretical (which does not mean some
people won't think they are big) but I don't know of any big practical
implications.  Mind you, that's going to depend on the fuzzy notion of a
big implication.

Unfortunately, a language which targets C will suffer from any semantic
limitations imposed by the target compiler; any compiler which attempts to
target "portable" C will thus either have to generate monstrously-
inefficient code or else be limited to semantics that the Standard would
mandate on all compilers, including those targeting platforms or
application fields for which the other language isn't designed.

Imvvho, Rick should try to make an online version of CAlive's current
