Error messages in C++ can be lengthy. To redirect stderr to a file, use >&
in the Unix/Linux terminal: g++ map.cpp >& /tmp/err_mess.
Then you can edit the error message file to look at it.
-
Since the 1999 standard for the C language, one can declare
arrays with variable dimensions. See the
wikipedia page.
The usage is not recommended by some, like Linus Torvalds.
-
I have added the code for
ptrs2fncs_argcv.c,
which tests qsort on arrays of random numbers which are settable
by command line arguments.

The class is in-person.
The lectures will start on Tuesday, January 13, 2026 at 6pm in SAS 1220.
