The first 2 are perfectly reasonable, except that the
2nd one makes no sense -- do you mean that you put
a blank line between declarations and statements? I see
no point in putting more than one blank line before return, since
presumably it will be immediately followed by a line with
just a closing brace and 2 blank lines. Also in the third

Also, having the statement on a separate line makes code
coverage tests more useful. For example, gcov has line based
granularity and can tell you how often each line has been
executed in your test suite. If the statement and
the condition appear on the same line, then it
generates less accurate reports.

Re: Returning a struct from a function - strange behavior

In C89/C90, the implicit conversion of an expression of array type to
a pointer to the array object's first element occurs only
when the array expression is an lvalue. Quoting the C90 standard:
Except when it is the operand of the sizeof operator or the unary
& operator, or is a character string literal used to initialize an

ian-n...@hotmail.com (Ian Collins) — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 01:14:48 UT

Like void!
I don't think the original K&R even mentions malloc. They do briefly
describe calloc, which is shown as returning char* so a cast is required.

That was because there were no compilers conforming to ANSI C at the

That is exactly the reason I asked, to understand why it works for C99
and not for C89
I won't use such a construct in C89 of course, I'm trying to
understand (and I think i do understand now) why it works (or does
not!!) this way in C89
Why is this hard to understand?

No, I misunderstood. He is *not* using -std=c99 and attempting to use a
c99 construct. I misread 'without' as 'with' in

This reading error was probably triggered by my inability to realize

Actually, what he's trying to do doesn't sound very system specific to
me. As he wrote in the original article:
This sort of thing would be useful for allocating any memory-like
resource, such as space in a file, or blocks of time in a day, or
that sort of thing. So I'm sure they're out there; I just can't
