I'm not sure if signatures of functions have to be altered at all for
making named parameters. For example that proposal
http://www.open-std.org/JTC1/SC22/WG21/docs/papers/2014/n4172.htm
seems to make it responsibility of compiler, rather than linker.

Well, my experience with Java (which lacks of optional arguments)
sometimes is frustating: I have multiple function definitions when just
one would be enough (and now with Java 8's Optional<T> the situation is
worse). Having said that, I agree with Stroustroup that the use of
default arguments can avoid code replication.
 
Also I admit that I don't like many optional arguments in a function. I
would prefer to have something like Python's named parameters.

I reply to you now so you'll know this:
 
All of your emails (to me, or when sent from Google Groups automatically emailing me of your replies to posts I'm subscribed to) have a filter setup against them. They are automatically marked as read and sent to the Trash folder. I only see them when I go to empty trash, or when I'm actually on Google Groups. When I am on Google Groups and I see your name on a post, I collapse the post without reading it.
 
Why do I do this to you?
 
Because you have no interest in seeking the truth, Chris. You aren't asking real questions, but you are just a pretender poking away with little twists (things which appear outwardly to have some sort of truth-seeking, but truly do not, and are just knives from the enemy thrust into your being so you can lash out and tear and slice away with his twisting tongue).
 
I completely turn my back on your online presence as a part of my life until you repent. I will not read anything you write, and I will have no further online communication with you of any kind. And each time I see your name on something, I will remember you in my prayers because I know that it is only God who can turn that hard heart you possess around, and restore you to life. I pray that day comes sooner rather than later.
 
Good bye, Chris. This will be my last reply to you forever ... unless some point later you repent and apologize for the hurt and harm you've done.
 
Signed,
Rick C. Hodgin

You are that same way today.

I only sent you, what was it, two or three emails? You can post them all
for context.

Look, he does not want to converse with /anyone/ about his religious
ideas. He wants to pontificate - he has no interest in listening, or
thinking. He has painted himself into a corner in his religion - he
believes he really understands "god", and that anyone who disagrees with
him is by definition inspired by the devil. Since everyone /does/
disagree with him on at least some points, clearly /everyone/ is
possessed by the devil. And resisting other opinions or facts,
preferably by sticking his fingers in his ears and shouting "la, la, la,
I can't here you!", is therefore proving his loyalty to his god. It is
a vicious circle, with Rick and those around him being the primary
losers. But the more you post in threads like this, the more /you/
lose, and the more other members of the Usenet group lose.
 
Rick is happy to converse on technical matters, and I would be happy to
do so too, but he prefers to pretend I don't exist.

It is your pattern of posting on Usenet, Chris. You mock and
you delight in mocking. You ask illegitimate questions from that
same mocking point of view, laughing all the while.
 
You have no interest in the truth, and:

It keeps you on the path of the damned.

There may be strong reasons for it. For example people with very
high self-esteem (assholes) tend to do mistakes. Since assholes
are over average careless such mistakes can have rather bad
consequences. It may be even so that there are no other persons
to accuse. Then they can't accept it that it was all their own fault.
On such case it is relief for them to believe that powerful
supernatural enemies did use their ignorance, stupidity, fallibility
and lack of foresight to orchestrate that disaster. Also it comforts
them to believe that there is "god" who can forgive them even
when they can't forgive that fully to themselves. Further, spoiling
the good mood of others around them with their repetitively
expressed lunacy makes every asshole also to feel better. So it
must be correct as it feels so good. But from side it looks mad and
repulsive.

It could also be for another reason. It could be for the one I'm
trying to teach you:
 
(1) You have sin.
(2) Sin condemns one's soul to Hell.
(3) Jesus came to take away our sin and save us from condemnation.
(4) All He asks you to do is ask Him to forgive you and He will.
For free.
 
It could be for that reason, Öö Tiib. And I still don't know how to
pronounce your name. In my mind I'm referring to you as "Oh Teeb."

Of course not. Thoughts would only frighten him.

The same thing could be said about you ... and the cross. To come to
the foot of the cross is to look up to the one who paid the price for
your sin ... or the one who could've had you let Him.
 
In any event, to look into the eyes of the one on the cross is wholly
condemning, and moves you on the inside in a way nothing else can.
 
I encourage each of you to:
 
THINK about the Lord upon that cross.
THINK about your sin.
THINK about what happens to you after you leave this world.
THINK about your future.
 
And THINK about why Jesus came to this Earth and died upon that cross.
If you come to the foot of the cross it will rattle your soul ...
forever.

List of your beliefs can't be reason why you are incapable to converse,
to listen or to think about those. I was just suggesting a reason how
unfortunate events can make some people to become sectarian like
that.

Perhaps I have told you but sounds and letters are just symbols;
protocol of communication. I'm real person not those sounds and
letters.

There's a video by Steve Lawson that speaks about what it costs to be
a true Christian. He also goes over a passage of scripture where Jesus
stop, and turns to the large crowd following Him, and warns them that
unless they love Him more than others, they cannot be His disciple.
 
Many turned away at these types of chastenings, because they really
didn't love Jesus, they just wanted to follow the crowd.
 
It Will Cost You Everything
Pastor Steve Lawson

http://www.libsf.org/audio/steve_lawson__it_will_cost_you_everything.mp3
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxnCD-yffWo
 
The cost of everything is not a loss, but a gain, meaning as you give
those things the Lord has already given to you back to Him, He begins
to bless you and increase those things to which you have charge over.
 
Christians are in training. The Lord is seeking for those who will
truly serve Him from within, from a deep love of what's right, from
their willingness to be obedient to Him and teach others His teachings.
 
We're like athletes. Some seek Olympic gold, some just want to compete
in a local 2K marathon. Others just want to do it for exercise.
 
Why do you want to serve the Lord? To appease your conscience? Or do
you have a deep, inner desire and love for the Lord that makes you want
to put in the time and effort, to hone your knowledge of Him, to go into
this world teaching those things to the people they won't hear from the
other sources out there?
 
True Christianity is rare. It's a thing of great value and beauty. It
is reserved for those who are called, who answer the call, and who press
in diligently in service to Him. Others will be saved, but because of
their complacency and unwillingness to stand up for God ahead of the
many draws and pulls and lusts of this world tugging at them from all
directions, they never do mature, they never do step forward and serve
God, but instead they follow after those lusts getting bogged down at
every corner.
 
The Lord is looking for doers. He's looking for those who will serve
Him from within with a true love, and a real passion for who He is, what
He has done, what He is doing, and a deep love for those around us here
in this world, to look past their hatred and outward attacks, and seek
that inner man, the relationship that can be had once the walls of pride
and arrogance are overcome.

Why would you want to return something that had been dynamically

It seems he meant that the very allocation is likely pointless.
Allocating that SubStr seems like allocating new std::string and
then returning std::string* instead of std::string by value.
Theoretically there may be reason but it is hard to find sane code
base dong that.

You wouldn't. You'd write something like this instead:
 
static SubStr
SubStr_new_u(unsigned char *s, unsigned int l)
{
SubStr r;
r.str = (char*)s;
r.len = l;
return r;
}

FWIW, I do care about you and your future, Juha. God has made
a way for us to be forgiven for our sin, to give us eternal life.
 
It is only that I teach you and point you toward. It is important
information to you personally.

As an operating system, I suppose Win10 is a better choice at
this point than Win7 or Win8 because Win10 is much better supported by
Microsoft. I just wish they added a option to make it look&feel
like Win7. But I suppose that's too much to wish. Microsoft
has decided that everything must look as flat and simplistic
as possible, even at the cost of usability, and probably nothing
is going to change their mind.
