In B, all variables must be declared, as one of auto, extrn, or implicitly as function arguments. [1] An external variable is defined outside functions, has a lifetime of the whole program execution, and introduced to function by the mean of extrn declaration. Using the following code in the tutorial as an example: [1]
C++ enforces stricter typing rules (no implicit violations of the static type system [1]), and initialization requirements (compile-time enforcement that in-scope variables do not have initialization subverted) [7] than C, and so some valid C code is invalid in C++. A rationale for these is provided in Annex C.1 of the ISO C++ standard. [8]
32-bit compilers emit, respectively: _f _g@4 @h@4 In the stdcall and fastcall mangling schemes, the function is encoded as _name@X and @name@X respectively, where X is the number of bytes, in decimal, of the argument(s) in the parameter list (including those passed in registers, for fastcall).
Encapsulation is also possible in non-object-oriented languages. In C, for example, a structure can be declared in the public API via the header file for a set of functions that operate on an item of data containing data members that are not accessible to clients of the API with the extern keyword. [13]
[8] [9] Common Lisp; Compiled Native Interface (CNI), alternative to JNI used in the GNU compiler environment. One of the bases of the Component Object Model is a common interface format, which natively uses the same types as Visual Basic for strings and arrays. D does it the same way as C++ does, with extern "C" through extern (C++)
Common Lisp has numerous standard dynamic variables, and so threads cannot be sensibly added to an implementation of the language without these variables having thread-local semantics in dynamic binding. For instance the standard variable *print-base* determines the default radix in which integers are printed. If this variable is overridden ...
Forward-declaration is used to avoid unnecessary coupling which help reducing compilation time by reducing the number of header inclusion. This has a triple advantage: reduce the number of files opened by #include (hence the number of operating system calls) reducing the volume of the pre-processed files (as the header is not included)
D is not source-compatible with C and C++ source code in general. However, any code that is legal in both C and D should behave in the same way. Like C++, D has closures, anonymous functions, compile-time function execution, ranges, built-in container iteration concepts, and type inference.
