Well, foo is either that either a function call. When it is
which is quite unclear.
Well, I'd say it's quite clear. It always does what's explicitly
written. The only exception is when one tries to do something
except calling or address-taking with a function (not a function
pointer).
No dereferencing is done in the compiled code anyway. BTW, an
« address of » operation is done on the type mentioned above.
I don't get what you are saying here. For me there's an inherent
difference between a fuction and a function pointer. You
shouldn't try to conflate them in a system language in my opinion.
Maybe it is. But it comes from the fact that ufcs is an
afterthought.
So we have already started to pill up feature that don't
integrate with each other C++ style.
I have to admit one could say this. But there's definitly a big
difference between real members and ufcs which would be really
hard to design around if one wants to stay in the C family.
I don't like authorative formal specs. It means most things
are set in
stone and you have to write a new spec every once in a while
which slows
down development of awesome language features.
This isn't about awesome language features. This is about
function calls ! The most basic feature ever.
BTW, not stabilized feature shouldn't appear in what we call
stable release . . . They should be provided testing versions
of the compiler so they can be tortured and refined to the
point everything make sense.
This isn't about versioning schemes either! But there have been
long discussions recently and at least some things will change
with the development after 2.060 afaik.
