Re: [Tinycc-devel] Local procedures

[kenneth . forsback]

C is the universal assembly language? That really hit my sweet-tooth (^_^)

However, would it not be good if someone tried to make a simple set of standard 
extensions?

- range checking, or at least a new lengthof keyword that returns the length, 
IMHO that would be lexicaly appropriate, sort of the complement to 
sizeof...didn't tcc already have some range checking algorithm?
- local procedures
- maybe a simple way to have "array pointers", not an array of pointers, but a 
pointer that points to an array an has n elements, so instead of pointing to 
each single element you point to an array and a position in that array, 
pointer[n] thus points to the n-th element from where the "array pointer" 
points to.

I don't have a black belt in C, so perhaps there are some simpld tricks to the 
last list item.

These are basically the only things about C that I think shold be improved on, 
but then again, I may be proven wrong even about these things, although I 
honestly believ these would be good extensions.
