Hi, Since C90, function prototypes are available. They have become so common now that mentioning them is more confusing than helpful. I suggest removing these two lines:
* Use ANSI function declarations. ANSI function braces look like * old-style (K&R) function braces.
I don't know what 'ANSI function braces' are or how they might differ from 'old-style function braces'. What is the point of this sentence, and why is it needed? I also suggest this change:
- * ANSI function declarations for private functions (i.e. functions not used - * elsewhere) and the main() function go at the top of the source module. + * Declarations for private functions (i.e. functions not used elsewhere) go + * at the top of the source module.
The words 'ANSI function' are redundant. Declaring a prototype for 'main' is so uncommon that I don't see a point mentioning it. I wonder where the term 'source module' comes from, and why it was chosen above the well-defined 'translation unit', so I'd like to reword that, with no intended change in meaning. Objections?
