A C/C++ Function Call Puzzle
Consider the following program. Predict the output of it when compiled with C and C++ compilers.
void func() { /* definition */} int main() { func(); func(2); } |
chevron_right
filter_none
The above program compiles fine in C, but doesn’t compiler in C++.
In C++, func() is equivalent to func(void)
In C, func() is equivalent to func(…)
Refer this for details and this for more programs that compile in C, but not in C++.
