Full Discussion: Pure C function pointer on printing vowels twice
Top Forums Programming Pure C function pointer on printing vowels twice Post 302997637 by yifangt on Wednesday 17th of May 2017 03:21:15 PM
Old 05-17-2017
Is there another layer hidden behind for printing with putchar() in the if-condition?
The return value is EOF or a single vowel, which is the first part bugging me.

Does that mean in if (putchar(c) == EOF || putchar(c) == EOF) , function putchar(c) gets actually executed twice?

I thought this line is just a condition, and before the end only the else block is executed so that the value is 'e', without printing.
Let me put my question in another way:
Is there another layer for printing hidden behind, such as when 'e' is encountered in 'Test'?
Code:
putchar(c);    //Is this the place 'e' get printed the first time?
left ~> (putchar(e) == EOF) is false, 0
putchar(c);    //Is this the place 'e' get printed the second time?
right ~> (putchar(e) == EOF is false, 0
so that, the if (0 || 0) condition still false; 
else block executed

Is this correct?
Thanks!

	      Sets the group files will be scanned as. This is optional : if a user name is passed to -u</fR>, group are automatically retrieved.

       -u <user or uid>
	      Set the user name files will be scanned as. This is mandatory, and it can't be "root".

SECURITY

       pure-quotacheck switches real and effective uids/gids as soon as possible. Root privileges are never given back.
       pure-quotacheck refuses to scan directories with uid = 0 (root) or gid = 0 (wheel/root) .
       pure-quotacheck performs a chroot() call to the home directory. It never traverses parent directories.
       pure-quotacheck only scans real files (no socket, no pipe, etc) .
       pure-quotacheck enforces read access on directories to prevent against people doing chmod 0 before a quota scan.
       pure-quotacheck enforces write access on the home directory to properly write the .ftpquota file.
       pure-quotacheck never scans the same inode/device pair twice.
