static functions can only be used in the .c module in which they are defined, they are not visible in other modules.

Hi Rao<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;What ur telling is Static functions are available in C , Just like static <br />
variables..My understand is correct means give me a ex..

Actually, I'm not even sure they are avavilable in ANSI C (I do mostly C++) but &nbsp;GCC thinks it is.

In C language static functions are used for code hiding: static functions defined in the module are visible in that module *only*, i.e. linker can't see they though any other &quot;ordinary&quot; function is visible for linker.<br />
<br />
So static functions are useful in multimodule projects.<br />

Example? just at the static keyword:<br />
<br />
static void f()<br />
{<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;/*Ur code */<br />
}<br />
<br />
<br />
That's what I said, can only be used from the same module, isn't it?

Hi <br />
&nbsp; Please explain me abt Static functions in C...<br />
&nbsp; Static variables which hold the values<br />
with in the program,,But what is use with Static functions..<br />
<br />
Is there static functions are available in C.. Ans is Yes then give me syntax and use of that functions with examples...<br />
<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance<br />

Static funtions

C is a general-purpose, imperative computer programming language, supporting structured programming, lexical variable scope and recursion, while a static type system prevents many unintended operations. By design, C provides constructs that map efficiently to typical machine instructions, so it has found lasting use in applications that had formerly been coded in assembly language, including operating systems as well as various application software for computers ranging from supercomputers to embedded systems. It is distinct from C++ (which has its roots in C) and C#, and many later languages have borrowed directly or indirectly from C.
