C function overloading?

I would like to overload a C function. Is there any easy way to do this?

Just compile with a C++ compiler.

No. C does not support function overloading.

You could, however, write a wrapper function that calls the normal C
function, but adds new functionality. Many people do this in calling memory
functions, for instance.

Do you know what function overloading is? It is not changing the
behavior of some particular function, i.e. as a wrapper would,
which seems to be your implication.

lcc-win32 is a compiler that supports function overloading.

http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~lcc-win32

It is not a C++ compiler

If it supports function overloading then it isn't a C compiler
either.

What a nasty question. Of course I do. Do YOU know what a C forum is for?
Idiot.

Standard C does not allow true function overloading, such as in C++.

However, you may be able to simulate the effect with macros; examine
<tgmath.h> for ideas how. Note that the method used by <tgmath.h> is
necessarily implementation-dependent, so don't expect your code to be
portable.
