It so easier to work with JSON then with JavaScript. Thanks a lot. Is there a way to implement “Next Page” functionality?

]]> Comment on Feedback wanted for a C function by Jeremy Fincher http://blog.ghcoders.net/2007/10/16/feedback-wanted-for-a-c-function/#comment-16 Jeremy Fincher Tue, 13 Nov 2007 22:43:05 +0000 http://blog.ghcoders.net/2007/10/16/feedback-wanted-for-a-c-function/#comment-16 First, the function is too long. Write another function to skip leading whitespace (or, for extra credit, write a function to skip leading chars matching a certain predicate) and use that. Second, I wouldn't use strlen at all. It doesn't significantly simplify your function and it results in making two passes over the string rather than one. Instead, just use a while loop like "while (c = *s++)". You could write it in a more state machine style, if you want, but it's not necessary. First, the function is too long.

Since the open source people are not against closed-source software, but just see open source as a practical advantage, that would probably work nicely. Mention large companies who run their business on open source software: Google, Yahoo, MediaWiki, etc. Mention companies who contribute to open source software (IBM & Eclipse for example.) Do give a list of open source projects that are widely used (the ones you mentioned are very good examples.) If your company uses open source software, mention it. Open source != communism. Companies make money off of open source. Stick to the appellation “open source”; no need to confuse people with the philosophical distinction of free software vs. open source.

Other than that, it looks good. Just as a matter of course, the first thing I’d do in such a function is:
