The meaning of the c in calloc
The meaning of the c in calloc was vividly discussed in comp.lang.c in October 2000 (see here), with both clear (because, unlike malloc, calloc clears the memory it returns) and count (because, unlike malloc, calloc is passed a count of elements to allocate) suggested as possible explanations, however without real evidence for either. Other suggestions were (along with several less serious ones) contiguous, core, commit, chunk, and character, the latter because in early versions of K&R C, calloc was the only allocation function in the library (and had an accompanying cfree). For the same reason, it was even suggested that the c simply stand for the C programming language. So, the etymology of calloc still isn't proven, and if anybody has any definite evidence as to its meaning, I'd highly appreciate learning about it.

如果基类析构函数前不加vitual，派生类对象被销毁后，只会调用基类的析构函数，而不会去调用派生类的析构函数。

C++语言的创建初衷是“a better C”，但是这并不意味着C++中类似C语言的全局变量和函数所采用的编译和连接方式与C语言完全相同。作为一种欲与C兼容的语言，C++保留了一部分过程式语言的特点（被世人称为“不彻底地面向对象”），因而它可以定义不属于任何类的全局变量和函数。但是，C++毕 ......
