Question

Is there any way to achieve function overloading in C? I am looking at simple functions to be overloaded like

foo (int a)   foo (char b)   foo (float c , int d) 

I think there is no straight forward way; I’m looking for workarounds if any exist.

Answer 1

There are a few possibilities:

1. printf style functions (type as an argument);
2. OpenGL style functions (type in function name);
3. C subset of C++ (if You can use a C++ compiler).
