    For example, in a program like cdecl, if you get:
  • Career Retrospective
    3 projects | dev.to | 1 Feb 2024
    In the mean time, I still enjoy hacking on various projects such as cdecl and writing my programming blog. Aside from computers, I enjoy gardening, cooking, and hope to do some travel.
  • Using assert() for Less Buggy Code

    In case you’re wondering, these code snippets are from cdecl.
  • Unions in C
    1 project | dev.to | 13 Jan 2024
    For a larger example, consider cdecl that is a program that can parse a C or C++ declaration (aka, “gibberish”) and explain it in English:
  • An Updated Cdecl — with Macro Expansion
    1 project | dev.to | 5 Jan 2024
    It’s been a while since I first started updating cdecl. From my previous article:
  • C/C++ Preprocessor Macros
    1 project | dev.to | 31 Dec 2023
    I decided to solve problem 6 myself by adding a feature to cdecl that allows you to #define macros as usual and then expand them where cdecl will print the expansion step-by-step as well as warn about things you might not expect. However, that’s a story for another time.
  • Musings on C & C++ Declarations
    1 project | dev.to | 27 Apr 2023
    Additionally, you can use cdecl both to decipher and compose declarations.
  • C++ New Style Casts in C (sort of)
    1 project | dev.to | 15 Oct 2022
    Suppose there’s an API you’re using that allows “user data” to be given. In C, this is usually done by passing your data to a void* parameter, for example when visiting the nodes of a red-black tree. Assume we have a tree where the data we store at each node is:
  • Bit Testing Functions in C
    1 project | dev.to | 25 Sep 2022
    There are many sites giving lots of bit twiddling expressions or functions in C, but none that I've found that give a concise set of bit testing functions, so here is a set I've written. (These are used as part of cdecl.)
  • The Curious Case of the Disappearing “if”

    I recently discovered a test-case that crashed cdecl:
