It's just another drive-by shot-the-messenger (and perhaps innocent bystanders) post, coming along weeks after most people have forgotten about the thread. If you are lucky, you'll get a reply containing nothing but sarcasm, cryptic messages, and patronising insults sometime next year. He used to post interesting things, and had insights into details of C and the standards that most others missed. Maybe he still could, but he sees to prefer to play the grumpy old man and wave his Zimmer frame at people who disturb his slumber. (And yes, I know he'll ignore this post. He has burned that bridge, and many others, long ago.) > > For example, some programs may never need to free memory until they > terminate. > >
