There's nothing wrong with perl having all kinds of perldoc pages. But perl

the switch statement in gcc may not be exactly the same as the switch

As C is an ISO standard, I sincerely doubt there would be any difference in the
syntax and behaviour of the keywords between C compilers on any Unix-like
operating system.
Incorrect. C, for example, does not guarantee the order of evaluation
of arithmetic operators of equal precedence in the same statement (in
other words, is something like "a + b + c" evaluated left to right, or
right to left?). This can have significant effects if some of the
operands have "side effects"
Another example is that a null pointer (or the value "NUL") is not
necessarily zero, only that it is guaranteed to not point at any valid
datum.
C allows quite a bit of leeway to the compiler implementation.
Let's talk about foreskins instead.
Is there something wrong with you?
(Wait, did I just start ranting?)
I can't tell you what you're thinking, if you actually are. Why do you
believe it's appropriate to make idiotic remarks like that in the middle of a
serious discussion on a technical mailing list? Are you really that immature?
