Once again you have a reading comprehension problem.  We were talking
about the compilers *I USED*.  I did not know every compiler on the
market at the time.

You need help in learning to comprehend a lot of things.  Reading is
just one of them.

That is correct.  And the code generated would *properly* convert the
value.  That's why code was included in the reverse order of being
called.  Many programmers didn't use "different compilation units".
They might have had separate source files, but everything was included
in one compilation unit.

It solved the problem of *NOT* converting the parameter, causing the
wrong value to be passed.

(1) You have not supplied any evidence that any compiler from the time
    did this conversion.
(2) There is ample evidence (provided you don't just say I'm making it
    up) that many compilers did not do this conversion.
(3) K&R, the reference which, according to you, all good compilers
    of the time followed, explicitly stated that this conversion did not
    occur.
(4) You agree that this code will break on any K&R-conforming compiler.

See my post above.  The proof is in the code.

Err, the one where you say you agree that the compiler does not do as
you said?  All of these points stand.

The proof is in the code.  I never agreed the compiler does not do as I
said.  I proved it does do as I said.

Now it's up to you to disprove my claim.  But trolls never do that.

Have you been drinking?  That post says:

  "I admit - this version did not do what I said."

and it was only a short while ago.

That's right.  I admit that MS C 3.0 was more advanced than I remembered.

But you don't understand the difference.  You need to get your reading
comprehension checked into.

Good.  Any chance you can provide some evidence that a compiler from that
era does as you claim for this code:

  f(a)
  double a
  { ... }

  g() { f(42); } /* A Stuckle compiler converts this to 42.0 */

?  None has so far been found.

As I said - I don't have all of those compilers available any more.

Can you prove that they DIDN'T?  You weren't even out of diapers at the
time, much less programming...

So no.  That's fine, I don't expect you to supply evidence.  Can you
even identify one of the compilers that did this?  (You said there were
at least two).

As a C expert you would have known that the vast majority of other
compilers did not do this so I would think it would be memorable -- your
specially ordered code would break on a normal K&R C compiler of the era.

No, and I'm not going to bother with trying to give you any evidence.
You'll just claim it's faked, anyway - like you did with the MSC output.

Just another troll not worth my time.

Another troll? Wow, how can that be? Do you know how trolls usually work on
their own and "divide and conquer" and all that stuff? But now suddenly
everybody in this group except Suckle is a troll, and we're all hitting on
him. And being the wise man he is, he ignores the trolls, right? Oh, wait...

Nothing sudden about it.

> everybody in this group except Suckle is a troll,

I don't normally bother about typos, but when it's a name I think we 
should accord people the basic courtesy of getting their name right. (I 
am applying Hanlon's Razor and therefore assuming the typo was 
accidental. If it was deliberate, please don't play that game. You're 
better than that.)

I'm pretty new in this group, so I don't know Jerry's history. But if this 
is NOT new behaviour, and you guys know he is a troll, then why do you all 
keep feeding him? If he is known to be a troll, then say so, and I will stop 
replying to him right now. And so should everybody else.

Aren't we all just playing a game if this is normal behaviour for Jerry?
Aren't we all supposed to be better than that?

Words of wisdom indeed.

I suppose it's like picking at a scab. You know it won't help, but it 
can be hard to resist!

I think there are two main reasons people continue to reply to Stuckle; one
reasonably defensible the other less so.

First the less reasoanble: as was mentioned elsewhere it's like picking a
scab.  One knows one shouldn't, but it's just so irritating it's hard not
to.

Second the defensible reason: Stuckle writes decently well and newer users
could be duped into believing that he's more knowledgable than he actually
is, and thus could be misled.  One reason for replying to otherwise
unreasonable people on USENET is to leave corrections in the historical
record.

This could, perhaps, be mitigated if the comp.lang.c FAQ were restarted
and included a section on well-known cranks and trolls like Jerry Stuckle
and Rick Hodgin saying, essentially, that anything they write should be
viewed skeptically.  Has anyone heard from Steve Summit in the last few
years?

>If he is known to be a troll, then say so, and I will stop 
>replying to him right now. And so should everybody else.

Stuckle is a known troll.

I admit to that one.

I also reply to him for that reason.

I can also think of another less reasonable reason - arguing against him
can be entertaining.  And because it is clear that he knows what he is
doing, you don't need to feel guilty about mocking him.

There are other reasonable reasons too.  Some of the posts in threads
like these can be interesting and informative.  I have learned a few
things about the history of C, its standards and its tools from other
posters in this thread.  Jerry's nonsense can sometimes be quite good at
provoking people to post information or make people think about things.

And sometimes I reply to Jerry's posts because he is saying something
correct (or almost correct) and useful.  It is not uncommon for him to
make reasonably sensible posts for a while - it is only after he has got
something wrong that he goes down a path of steadily more wild claims,
denial, and insults in an attempt to justify his original mistake.

Jerry is not in my view a troll. He is ill-mannered, and he seems to 
be under the impression that it is necessary to be like that to deal
with other people who, admittedly, can be difficult at times. 

I rarely respond to Jerry simply because his programming interests
and mine don't overlap much. However on the occasions we do interact
as far as I remember he's usually been reasonable.

Not, I fear, for several years now. This is no longer comp.lang.c, it's
comp.lang.trollbaiting.

There are a few trolls in this newsgroup - more than most.  That's why
the *REAL* C programmers all left.
