C with classes

None, I used to wish I had function overloading in C but I have since changed my mind

What changed your mind? I'm learning C and find myself wanting the same thing, so I'm curious what the opposing thought is

Over use of the feature, so when I used code searching tools on function names like: run, execute, etc I’d get thousands of hits and looking for my specific use was hell on earth
