It is one of the things that draws strong criticism, but it has a certain logic to it. — Dennis M. Ritchie, Creator of C I consider the C declarator syntax an experiment that failed. — Bjarne Stroustrup, Creator of C++ cdecl ( see-deh-kull ) is a program primarily for composing and deciphering C (or C++) declarations or casts, aka ‘‘gibberish.’’ It can be used interactively on a terminal or accept input from either the command line or standard input. For example: Additionally, cdecl is also for developing and debugging C preprocessor macros by performing expansion step-by-step. For example: This codebase fixes virtually all the deficiencies in earlier versions as well as adds many new features, most notably: Using GNU Autotools for building. Command-line long-options. Distinguishes among K&R C, C89, C95, C99, C11, C17, C23, C++98, C++03, C++11, C++14, C++17, C++20, C++23, and C++26. Support for C89 const , restrict , and volatile qualifiers. Support for C99 static , type-qualified, and variable length array function parameters. Support for C99 extensions Embedded C and Unified Parallel C. Support for inline function and variable declarations. Support for typedef declarations.
