Subject: C for dummies
This question stems from an OpenCL problem we just solved off list.
In common.c we have several lines like this:
char itoa16u[16] = "0123456789ABCDEF";
Is this a bug or not? That string literal is 17 bytes if you ask me. In the OpenCL format we were debugging, this caused major problems.
I am 100% autodidact, so I am not sure the above way of writing it is definitely wrong or not (my guess is it is wrong). Personally I would write it with empty braces (btw I'd also use const). OTOH if it's that bad, I'm puzzled no compiler or tool complained about it.
