The same analysis for 3: also a cost of 1/16 makes 1/8 cycle for
a pipeline depth of 32.
What are the statistics?
How many new C programmers are there each year?
Is the total number of C programmers increasing or decreasing?
Tony said:By "implementation", Ian meant "the compiler". That is what is typically
understood as "the implementation". As in, "the implementation of the
language".
(Aside: Isn't a single underscore suggested for use by libraries?).
The "implementation" includes the compiler, the standard library, the
linker, and probably some other things.
The simple rule is to avoid defining *any* identifier starting with an
identifier, unless you're writing a C implementation.
It's not quite that simple. Identifiers starting with two underscores,
or with an underscore followed by an upper case letter, are reserved for
all purposes. Identifiers starting with an underscore *not* followed by
another underscore or by an upper case letter are reserved in fewer
contexts. So you *can* use such identifiers in your own code, but it's
easier not to.

It is.
I didn't say that.

With my compiler, symbols are _[name]. So, it comes out to be
___reverse_list(), which isn't too bad.
But it's a coding style issue anyway, and is trivial.

It seems to me we've had several assaults recently, quite probably all
from the same person, which all followed the same general pattern. They
started with reasonable messages, not easily distinguishable from the
general background of newbie questions. Then the poster starts
obstinately standing by his own opinions in conflict with the
information he's been given by many other people; regrettably, that's
also not all that unusual a pattern in this newsgroup. Then, he suddenly
degenerates into incoherent rage, ranting and raving about something
that seems completely unrelated to the topics being discussed in the
messages he's nominally responding to. One of the more unusual features
is that these rants are much shorter than is usual for this newsgroup.
I can understand ordinary trolling - it takes a lot less work and a lot
less intelligence to "show" that you're "smarter" than other people by
trying to fool them, than by actually demonstrating a superior
understanding of a subject. This feels like something quite different to
me. One could almost imagine that the rage being expressed during the
terminal stages of one of these infestations is sincere. The last time
this happened, several people suggested that the change in mood was due
to drug abuse, which seems plausible. But does anyone have any clue as
to what this guy thinks he's getting angry about when he's high? Insofar
as there's any pattern to his ranges, he seems to think it's something
political, and that's about as far as I can get in understanding it.
It's probably not worth thinking about, but I just can't form a
plausible mental model of the person who bothers perpetrating this nonsense.

Doesn't that effectively push the entire linked list up the stack first,
and then go down the stack again to build the reversed list ?
Seems wasteful to me, when it can be done in O(1) space.
