GeneralPassing an "array" in C Pin
PIEBALDconsult31-Jul-15 7:41

Although I use C# most of the time, I try to use C for small exercises -- to keep my C sharp! Unsure | :~

Anyway... I don't recall having to pass arrays back when I was using C full-time (in the 90s), so I don't know which technique is preferred.
As I see it, there are two basic techniques as precedents in C:

0) Passing the length of the array with the array -- e.g. main ( int argc , char *argv[] )
1) Having a "special value" at the end of the array to indicate the end -- e.g. NULL-terminated strings.

So, if I want to pass an array of structs (four ints), which technique is preferred by the C/C++ community?

I'm actually considering door number...

2) Using a linked list instead. It just seems cleaner, though memory usage is actually increased by 25% in this case.

Again, this is just an exercise, but practicing poor technique can be worse than not practicing at all.

So, what say you? If you have to pick door 0 or door 1, which do you prefer?
