additive operator: An operator that performs addition (+) or subtraction (--). These operators perform arithmetic conversion on each of the operands, if necessary. See also arithmetic conversion rules.

aggregate: A data structure (array, structure, or union) composed of segments called members. You declare the members to be of either a scalar or aggregate data type. Members of an array are called elements and must be of the same data type. A structure has named members that can be of different data types. A union is a structure that is as long as its longest declared member and that contains the value of only one member at a time.

ampersand (&): As a unary operator, computes the address of its operand. As a binary operator, performs a bitwise AND on two operands; both must be of an integral type. As an assignment operator (&=), performs a bitwise AND on two expressions and assigns the result to the left object. The double ampersand (&&), a binary operator, performs a logical AND on two operands. See also binary operator, bitwise operator, logical operator, and unary operator.

argument: An expression that appears within the parentheses of a function call. The expression is evaluated and the result is copied into the corresponding parameter of the called function. See also argument passing and parameter.

argument passing: The mechanism by which the value of the argument in a function call is copied to a parameter in the called function. In C, all arguments are passed by value; that is, the parameter receives a copy of the argument's value. Therefore, a function called in C cannot modify the value of an argument except by using its address. In general, addresses are passed using the ampersand operator (see ampersand (&)) in the function call or by passing a pointer variable. In addition, using an array or function name (an array with no brackets or function identifier with no parentheses) as an argument results in the passing of the address of the array or function.

arithmetic conversion rules: The set of rules that govern the changing of a value of an operand from one data type to another in arithmetic expressions. Conversions take place in assignments by changing the type of the right operand's result to that of the object referred to by the left operand; the resultant type also applies to the assignment expression. Conversions are also performed when arguments are passed to functions.

arithmetic operator: A C operator that performs a mathematical operation. In an expression, certain operations take precedence (are performed first) over other operations. The unary minus operator (--) is at the highest level of precedence. At the next level are the binary operators for multiplication (*), division (/), and mod (%). At the next level are addition (+) and subtraction (--). There is no unary plus operator, and there is no exponentiation operator. If necessary, all the binary operators perform the arithmetic conversions on their operands. See also arithmetic conversion rules.

arithmetic type: One of the integral data types, enumerated types, float , or double .

array: An aggregate data type consisting of subscripted members, called elements, all of the same type. Elements of an array can be one of the fundamental types or can be structures, unions, or other arrays (to form multidimensional arrays).

assignment expression: An expression that has the following form:

E1 asgnop E2

Expression E1 must evaluate to an lvalue, the asgnop operator is an assignment operator, and E2 is an expression. The type of an assignment expression is that of its left operand. The value of an assignment expression is that of the left operand after the assignment takes place. If the operator is of the form op=, then the operation E1 op (E2) is performed, and the result is assigned to the object referred to by E1; E1 is evaluated once.

assignment operator: The combination of an arithmetic or bitwise operator with the assignment symbol (=); also, the assignment symbol by itself. See also assignment expression.

asterisk (*): As a unary operator, treats its operand as an address and results in the contents of that address. As a binary operator, multiplies two operands, performing the arithmetic conversions, if necessary. As an assignment operator (*=), multiplies an expression by the value of the object referred to by the left operand, and assigns the product to that object. See also binary operator and unary operator.

binary operator: An operator that is placed between two operands. The binary operators include arithmetic operators, shift operators, relational operators, equality operators, bitwise operators (AND, OR, and XOR), logical connectives, and the comma operator, in that order of precedence. All binary operators group from left to right. Compaq C has no exponentiation operator. The exp library function must be used instead.

bitwise operator: An operator that performs Boolean algebra on the binary values of two operands, which must be integral. If necessary, the operators perform the arithmetic conversions. Both operands are evaluated. All bitwise operators are associative, and expressions using them may be rearranged. The operators include, in order of precedence, the single ampersand (&) (bitwise AND), the circumflex (^) (bitwise exclusive OR), and the single bar (|) (bitwise inclusive OR).

block: See compound statement.

block activation: The run-time activation of a block or function, in which local auto and register variables are allocated storage and, if they are declared with initializers, given initial values. Variables of storage class static , extern , globaldef , and globalvalue are allocated and initialized at link time. The block activation precedes the execution of any executable statements in the function or block. Functions are activated when they are called. Internal blocks (compound statements) are activated when the program control flows into them. Internal blocks are not activated if they are entered by a goto statement, unless the goto target is the label of the block rather than the label of some statement within the block. If a block is entered by a goto statement, references to auto and register variables declared in the block are still valid references, but the variables may not be properly initialized. Blocks that make up the body of a switch statement are not activated; auto or register variables declared in the block are not initialized.

built-in functions: The function definitions that are part of the Compaq C compiler for OpenVMS systems. A call to one of these functions does not call a function in a run-time library or in your program. Most of the built-in functions access the VAX hardware instructions to perform operations quickly that are cumbersome, slow, or impossible in the C language.

cast: An expression preceded by a cast operator of the form (type_name). The cast operator forces the conversion of the evaluated expression to the given type. The expression is assigned to a variable of the specified type, which is then used in place of the whole construction. The cast operator has the same precedence as the other unary operators.

CDD/Repository: An optional OpenVMS software product, available under a separate license, that maintains a set of data structure definitions that many programs on a system, written in many languages, can access. The language-independent definitions are translated into the target language when they are included in the program stream. You can include the CDD records in Compaq C programs using the #dictionary preprocessor directive. This directive is specific to Compaq C for OpenVMS Systems, and is not portable.

character:

• A member of the ASCII character set.
• An object of type char , which is stored in a single byte of memory. An object of type char always represents a single character, not a string.
• A constant of type char consisting of up to four ASCII characters enclosed in apostrophes (' ') not quotation marks (" ").

See also string.

comma operator: A C operator used to separate two expressions as follows:

E1, E2

The expressions E1 and E2 are evaluated left to right, and the value of E1 is discarded. The type and value of the comma expression are those of E2.

comment: A sequence of characters introduced by the pair /* and terminated by */. Comments are ignored during compilation. They may not be nested.

Common Data Dictionary (CDD): See CDD/Repository.

compilation unit: All the source files compiled to form a single object module. In other C documentation, the term source file is synonymous with the OpenVMS compilation unit, which is not necessarily a single source file. Declarations and definitions within a compilation unit determine the lexical scope of functions and variables.

compound statement: Valid C statements enclosed in braces ({ }). Compound statements can also include declarations. The scope of these variables is local to the compound statement. A compound statement, when it is not the body of a function, is called a block.

conditional operator: The C operator (?:), which is used in conditional expressions of the following form:

E1 ? E2 : E3

E1, E2, and E3 are valid C expressions. E1 is evaluated, and if it is nonzero, the result is the value of E2; otherwise, the result is the value of E3. Either E2 or E3 is evaluated, but not both.
