COMMENT I will refrain from pointing out that the given example uv type punning in C (doubly linked lists) is really a kludge to get abstract types and jeneric funkshuns in a languaj that doesn't support them. However I cannot refrain from pointing out yet another piece uv empirical evidens to show that the C languaj and its tradishuns encouraj the writing uv unreadable code. To wit, the funkshun > LINKP insque(LINKP p,LINKP q); /* insert p after q */ > { if (p) (((p->fwd = q->fwd)->bwd = p)->bwd = q)->fwd = p; > return(p); > } > I also won't say anything about imajinativ speling.

Heh! This intentional garbling of the english language is getting a bit annoying. Maybe some individuals think they are being cute, but sifting through tons of worn out discussions is bad enough w/o trying to decipher baby talk, save it for your sweetheart. Besides, its insulting and probably troublesome to the dislectics (sp?).
