Hello Sluggers, I'm having to teach myself some C so I can deal with debugging problems with C modules used by perl (my primary interest is the perl scripts, but I'm tired of feeling helpless when C programs won't build or just die).
I've found an online university course tutorial which covers basic data types, operators, functions, prototyping, structures, pointers, malloc :- http://www.cs.cf.ac.uk/Dave/C/ It's dated 1999. Should this be enough, any major changes since then, any recommended tutorials out there ? Also - am I OK just working with a text editor like Gedit, or do I really need to use some API to do things properly ? Recommended newbie-friendly C mailing lists ? Anything else I should study to do this properly ? - I'm finding things like foo.xs which are used to generate foo.c for instance, so is there some tutorial on "typical methods used for generating C sources & modules" ? thanks Rod -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Brought to you by a penguin, a gnu and a camel -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
