K&R 1 did not have void or structure assignment. Those came later, although I'm not sure when. They may have been mentioned in an appendix; my copy isn't handy to check. At what point did each struct become its own namespace? I think around the time of K&R1. > From: Clem cole > Date: Thu, 23 Aug 2018 22:52:24 -0400 > To: Noel Chiappa > Subject: Re: [TUHS] C++ / Kernel > > ... > > The big changes to the language were between 6th Edition and Typesetter > which were done in concert if not to support Brian???s work on the troff > rewrite. Plus the first draft of book was being written around then also. The troff rewrite was later, circa '81 or so. Definitely NOT in the V6/V7 timeframe. Arnold
