@racketlauncher831 As far as the C compiler is concerned, there is literally no difference between those two notations. If you declare a function parameter as an array (of T), the C compiler automatically strips the size information (if any) and changes the type to pointer (to T).

(And if we’re talking humans, then char *args[] does not mean “follow this address to find a list of characters” because that’s the syntax for “array of pointers”, not “pointer to array”.)

@affiliate Hey, you didn’t even mention that char *args[] actually means char **args in a parameter list.

@stebo02 @Bogus5553 Neither of them require a return value, but void main isn’t legal C++.

Strictly speaking, it should be

Unsafe block syntax in C++

{  ...}

… Perl, Haskell, Lisp, …

@hstde @Spore Even better, the alphabetical index of function names was generated in English first and then translated, meaning the documentation looks like a scrambled mess in any other language because it is alphabetized according to what the English equivalent would be. #excel
