So, at ~22 hours in I made a discovery about C.<\/p>\n

Personally, I am a fan of forward declaring all of my functions for code readability, and have only just found out that:<\/p>\n

<type> foo(<type>, <type>, …);<\/p>\n

<type> foo(<var>, <var>, …)<\/p>\n

{ … }<\/p>\n

Is legal code where I have been using:<\/p>\n

<type> foo(<type>, <type>, …);<\/p>\n

<type> foo(<type> <var>, <type> <var>, …)<\/p>\n

{ … }
\n Are there strong opinions on which is better practice? And what are the arguments for them?<\/p>\n

Personally I lean towards the former style – it looks more elegant to me.<\/p>","time":"December 17th, 2011 5:32 pm","title":"Discovery!"}
