Lesley LaiCan any <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/clanguage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#clanguage</a> people give me some suggestions? In my current project, I have a `StringView` struct, which is essentially a pointer and a length. Every time when I need to print it, I need to do something like ```c printf("%*s", (int)sv.size, sv.start); ``` This is annoying and error-prone. I can also write custom format-print functions, which will also allow me to format-print arbitrary structs. However, then I lose the nice compiler protection against incorrect formats.<a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/c" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#c</a>

doctorambientI realize that -- these days -- shitting on C is pretty much a cottage industry for some people. It does a lot of things wrong by modern standards, no argument from me. That's absolutely a true statement.But if you had been around back then, with the hardware we had, and seen the language alternatives, you'd realize why it sparked joy for so many people.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/C" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#C</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/clanguage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#clanguage</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/1970s" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#1970s</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/1980s" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#1980s</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#programming</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/oldschool" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#oldschool</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/6502processor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#6502processor</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/8088cpu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#8088cpu</a>
