    For example, you might test the scenarios "front camera obscured by rain", "car ahead of you performs emergency stop", and "dog runs into street", but that doesn't necessarily tell you how the car will respond to a combination of the three.

    Now that really leads to a difficult decision for the car. Should it:
    - Maintain heading and come to a halt? Or perhaps
    - Maintain heading and come to a halt? Or even
    - Maintain heading and come to a halt?

    Let's wait for strong AI to solve that problem for us.

    This makes your original claim less wrong how exactly?
    Since you're so far beyond my level, it should be trivial to point out in which standard, (be it formal or informal, to lower the bar a bit for you) void main() is "valid C".

  20. Re:Which behaviour? on New NSA-Funded Code Rolls All Programming Languages Into One · · Score: 1

    You talked about standards, and C89 is the first formal C standard. I'm sorry for your C knowledge if you are indeed oblivious of implicit int (hint: you can and must still return an int from "main([void])".
    Furthermore probably sucks to think that a function taking no parameters like foo(void) and a function taking an unspecified number of parameters like foo() and (void) were the same thing. Your mind might be a bit C++-damaged (in C++, foo() in fact means foo(void)).
    Educate much?
    Consider char (*foo(int))[4];
    What's the type of foo?

  21. Re:Which behaviour? on New NSA-Funded Code Rolls All Programming Languages Into One · · Score: 1

    Depends on the standard.

    No. None of the C Standards ever had void a valid return type for main, and, frankly all of them (since we're talking standards, that means C89 through C11) give you int main(void) and int main(int argc, char **argv)(and equivalent).
    It's not like i didn't link a source.

    Even "main()" can be valid.

    Yes, C89 allowed leaving away the int, that's called "implicit int". Needless to point out, the return type is still int.

    Nope. Not valid C. Valid would be int main(void), int main(int argc, char **argv)(and equivalent), and in some cases int main(int argc, char **argv, char **envp) (and equivalent).
