What is used in function overloading and function with default argument?

Which of the following in Object Oriented Programming is supported by Function overloading and default arguments features of C++. Explanation: Both of the features allow one function name to work for different parameter.

What is the default arguments in C?

A default argument is a value provided in a function declaration that is automatically assigned by the compiler if the calling function doesn't provide a value for the argument.

Can we overload function with default argument?

No you cannot overload functions on basis of value of the argument being passed, So overloading on the basis of value of default argument is not allowed either. You can only overload functions only on the basis of: Type of arguments. Number of arguments.

What is the default value in C?

value − Any value to initialize the variable. By default, it is zero.


Converting a C++ lib to ANSI C and it seems like though ANSI C doesn't support default values for function variables or am I mistaken? What I want is something like

int funcName(int foo, bar* = NULL); 

Also, is function overloading possible in ANSI C?

Would need

const char* foo_property(foo_t* /* this */, int /* property_number*/);  const char* foo_property(foo_t* /* this */, const char* /* key */, int /* iter */); 

Could of course just name them differently but being used to C++ I kinda used to function overloading.
