If I am in a c language group, I think the way I
enter c code
or
read c code
or
format c code
How best to use the language is certainly as on topic
as the language specifications.
If you will take a look at the question asked I guess you will find that
it won't even fit if your rather loose definition of what would be on-
topic here - it's about if a certain program called "Eclipse" is suitable
for whatever he wants to do with C and C++ code. But here (for a number
of good reasons) even discussions about how C compilers are to be used
is off-topic because clc is about the C language itself, which is a wide
enough topic on it's own, and not tools to be used in conjunction with C
(or e.g. external libraries, just because they were written in C or have
a C interface). There's a difference between the discussion about say
cars and the repairing of Thin Lizzy vintage cars made 1935. There are
enough things to be said about cars as such that you don't have to mix
this with discussions about certain models (unless you want to make the
group useless for its intended purpose) - that's better suited for a
groups taking a special interest into that, which isn't shared by every-
one interested in discussions about cars.
