I can only guess. But, my guess is that it won't make a difference in performance because of compiler optimization. From a style point of view, some programmers prefer the first because the ~~~ part of the code would be nested 1 level less. — James 11 secs ago

I think it is better asked at software engineering SE — Bharel 1 min ago

componentB is set as dependency but as “file://“ this is not needed for real. For example, you can use npm link or different setups for development and publishing. Anyway, your question seems more related to Soft Eng — Cristian Traìna 7 secs ago

This question is too broad, asking multiple questions at once, asking for recommendations for 3rd party resources, and not asking about a specific coding issue. It's off-topic on multiple counts, sorry. Please take the tour, and read How to Ask and associated resources as the system recommended you to do before posting anything. You might find a version of this might be acceptable on the software engineering or software recommendations sites, but check their guidance carefully too before asking. Thanks. — ADyson 6 secs ago

@SodAlmighty: do not bind *read-suppress* to nil if it is not nil. See the notes to the CLHS and in particular 'Programmers and implementations that define additional macro characters are strongly encouraged to make them respect *read-suppress* just as standardized macro characters do.' What you are doing is directly violating that guidance. — ignis volens 51 secs ago

Thank you so much for your great answer. I do however have a question regarding the "how to detect the NUL with fgets()". Your suggestion sounds very reasonable, but it looks like a bit of a hack, as I think to prefill the buffer with any programmer-chosen, hard-coded character sounds bit like a workaround. Is this a standard practice among experienced C programmers? — Learning_man 15 secs ago

Competitive coding is something you can do for fun after learning a language. They're more about problem solving skills and instant gratification then about good software engineering. The code examples are usually bof very poor quality — Pepijn Kramer just now

@Learning_man, Experienced C programmers, when using fgets(), tend to ignore the potential of reading a null character and use the input up to the first null character, be it the read one or appended one. IMO, using extended library functions like getline() or ` fscanf(f, "%199[^\n]%n",...` like code are the way to go. — chux - Reinstate Monica 19 secs ago

I certainly think that stylistically any should now be used rather than the bare protocol name, simply because it does a better job of saying what it means than the bare protocol name. The bare protocol name has misled and confused programmers all this time. — matt 30 secs ago

I certainly think that stylistically any should now be used rather than the bare protocol name, simply because it does a better job of saying what it means than the bare protocol name. The bare protocol name has misled and confused programmers all this time. It's good that any is going to be required. — matt 27 secs ago

likely you've reinvented the variant pattern. That's a good thing :), it means your brain works like other programmers' brains. So yes, that's likely the way to go. — lorro 31 secs ago
