Duh...isn't char str[] == char *str, and doesn't that mean that
stacking that struct would be a trivial operation, involving maybe 8
bytes of data? Or did that famous Standard mung that equivalence too?

OMG
Case closed.
Next!

Perhaps it isn't anymore: perhaps it never was. I do recall that these
were alternative ways of expressing an array.

I stopped using C because like Fortran and Cobol, it was (and is) an
artifact about which little sensible or intelligent could be said, and
it generated authoritarian folklore. So fill me in.

Hint: sizeof. Hint 2: lvalue.


I certainly don't believe that the above would stack the array. I
believe it would stack a pointer to the array.

How could recursion ever work if each invocation of the funtion would
actually share the same "local" variables ?

I'm not here to learn an outdated and buggy language, especially not
from you clowns. I am here to get rid of Heathfield, who makes

Then don't post here.

intelligent and humane discussion on comp.programming. But if I have to
relearn C to do so, I will. I will get Navia's compiler reinstalled on
my system if I must.

You can get plenty of help from this n.g.
If you are really willing to learn.
