I don't think the programmers at Stack Overflow can help you with that question... You might want to try somewhere else, maybe among medical people or data scientists. — Guillius 29 secs ago

I think this answer captures the very essence of Software engineering. Its not really what's conventional that matters. But rather just, people dropping spaghettios to seemingly impossible use-cases, anyone who opposes this, either grew up with COBOL or has absolutely never heard of crack pot attacks like Row Hammering... — samar musthafa 56 secs ago

It's too broad to ask about every single build result of zig library. If you narrow it down to simply "why 100 Bytes of C++ hello world produces 20 kB executable", then it's because C++ runtime and
iostream itself are already complex enough. Try to objdump -d hello > hello.asm, on my Ubuntu it already produces 150 lines of assembler code. Related topic from SW engineering. Then the same question can be asked about every file in your build tree. — pptaszni 12 secs ago12:25 PM
Yes, such APIs exist. Yes, it is possible to use them. No, StackOverflow is not the place to ask for software recommendations, those are explicitly off-topic. — Botje 33 secs ago

WRT: "...and no fair cheating and making the bitfield size and the loop length a macro. ;-)" Are we language critics, or programmers tasked with producing portable code? The macro processor is an integral part of compiling C code (as it is necessary to process include files). So asking if you can do 'A' in language C without using certain parts of the C language is a specious question. — Mac 31 secs ago
Welcome to Stack Overflow. We don't provide generalized debugging services. We can assist with specific issues.

We won’t do your work for you. Copy/pasting your homework into the text area thinking someone will do it for you is not only cheating, but will hurt you in the long run, as you probably won’t perform well on future assignments/tests. Please take the tour and read How to Ask, then edit to include past attempts and a minimal reproducible example showing what you have completed so far. For more info, check out the open letter to students with homework problems and this Meta FAQ. — Fastnlight 18 secs ago

There's no meaningful answer anyone can give to this. The size of the codebase can depend on dozens of different factors, not simply whether the site has authentication features or not. Even that's indefinable, since there are so many different ways to implement that kind of functionality. programming languages also differ - some are inherent more verbose than others. Programmers have different styles. And then there's the question of whether you consider the source code of 3rd party libraries part of the application code or not — ADyson 39 secs ago
And why does it matter anyway? The size of the codebase is not a meaningful metric to determine anything much - programmers (and their managers) have long moved away from using that kind of statistic to tell them anything useful about their work. — ADyson 34 secs ago

Re “You are not allowed…”: You are allowed, but the C standard does not define it. It is important to remember the C standard is not a set of requirements that programmers must obey. It is an open standard that specifies a core language. It was deliberately left open for extensions. C implementations are allowed to extend the language by defining things the standard does not, and programmers are allowed to use them. — Eric Postpischil 19 secs ago

@M.M: I know what they meant, but, as I wrote, it is important to remember the C standard is not a set of requirements that programmers must obey. It is an open standard intended to be extended. You could also say “In a program without undefined behavior, you are not allowed to link to a graphics library, and you are not allowed to use network services.” C is nearly useless without using behaviors that the standard does not define. One needs to understand that undefined behaviors may be areas for exploitation, not dangerous to avoid. — Eric Postpischil 38 secs ago
