What will be output of following c code?
#include<stdio.h>
char _x_(int,...);
int main(){
char (*p)(int,...)=&_x_;
for(;(*p)(0,1,2,3,4); )
printf("%d",!+2);
return 0;
}
char _x_(int a,...){
static i=-1;
return i+++a;
}
Detailed Explanation
Explanation:
In c three continuous dot represents variable number of arguments.
p is the pointer to the function _x_
First iteration of for loop:
Initial value: Nothing // In c it is optional
Loop condition: (*p)(0,1,2,3,4)
= *(&_x_)(0,1,2,3,4) // p = &_x_
= _x_(0,1,2,3,4) //* and & always cancel to each other
= return i+++a
= return i+ ++a
= return -1 + 1
= 0
Since condition is false. But printf function will print 0. It is bug of c language.
