Collaboration diagram for C Programming facilities:
Modules | |
| Default arguments and types for functions | |
| As a C++ like feature, this series of macros can be used to provide default arguments to functions and also to improve type safety for variadic functions. | |
| Allocation facilities throught the preprocessor | |
| Initialization facilities through the preprocessor | |
| Macros to ease programming of variadic functions | |
| Variable Length Arrays | |
| Type facilities | |
Macros that help in the handling of different kinds of types, forward declaring struct or union, and in handling enum. | |
| Conversion of strings to integer types | |
Extensions of the strto and wcsto families of functions. | |
| Macros to handle integer type expressions | |
Detailed Description
Macros and functions in these groups are designed to ease everyday life. They concern initialization and heap allocation of variables, default arguments for functions (yes, this is C), "variadic" function that magically receive the length of their argument list...
Most of this is implemented with macros. But we might also define some helper functions. If so they are small and defined as static inline, negligible, say.
