Pimps getting creative

BTW, Suity is correct about the printf in the try function: GCC gives a warning that there are more placeholders than variables. Obviously, i should also be mentioned in that call

Won't print 0 though, probably not anyway. It'll print whatever is lurking around the stack as an integer.

In the very dim and distant past when I actually coded stuff, I seem to remember that printf will grab the last matching variable off the stack if not told otherwise. So printf(%d) would grab the last integer value from the stack, since that seems to be i as passed to try() then it uses that. Slopping coding but it works.

Of course I could be entirely wonrg / out of date.

I'm also getting a warning at

index = strtol(argv[1], NULL, 10);

"Implicit conversion loses integer precision: 'long' to 'int'"

Maybe they're assuming a 32-bit system?

Did you say that you are still on bench ?!!!

I haven't sought to leave it yet

gcc -m32 is targetting it for a 32 bit system isnt it?

It outputs the Steam Key for Samantha Fox Strip Poker, can I have my GCHQ code breaker job now please ?

Dunno ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I went from various assembly languages and Forth directly to JavaScript; I never did anything with C, so I only really know as much of it as I need to work in Objective C. Things like gcc command-line options are not within my ambit

As I'm looking at it in Xcode, the warnings will be from clang, so maybe gcc wouldn't mind that bit.

Eh? tbl is an array of function pointers that take one argument. So that's fine. I guess try is okay in C because it's a keyword in C++.

Is there more to it than 5?

I may have mentioned that tbl is an array of function pointers in the post before yours. Why not pop over and take a look?

My C coding days are long behind me, so don't judge too harshly.

Progressed onto D now?
