| Jul 2, 2019 at 9:59 | comment | added | TVSuchty | Nah, it is not that the term "premature compiler" exists. I am just saying that I build a compiler because technically I did. But this compiler is not able to do all thing it is used to do, because I have not implemented a needed "aspects". So he is not mature, therefore premature... | |

@TVSuchty That's true for pointers, because if not, the caller doesn't know if the function changed the value pointed by the pointer. But variables can't be changed by a function, so the caller knows it will be constant. And for the function itself, the compiler is smart enough to read the whole function and know if it is being used in the function or not. In the specific case of this function it would make sense to make the pointer const (actually, not the pointer, but the type pointed by the pointer): size_t seek(const char *buffer, size_t start, size_t end, char to_be_seeked);

The prototype size_t seek(char* buffer, size_t start, const size_t end, char to_be_seeked); has a const parameter (const size_t end), which is weird. From the point of view of the caller, that is redundant, as only pointers can be used to modify arguments of a function. It makes some sense from the point of view of the function itself, but it kind of clutters the code, and I've never seen that being used; mostly because functions are (or should be) so short that that information is usually obvious. It's weirder given that to_be_seeked isn't modified in the function, but isn't const.

@dfhwze: To be fair, the code actually seems to emit executable Python code, since the OP actually does system("python3 translation.py"); to generate the output.
