The C Standard

Description

The definitive must-have volume for everyone who is serious about programming in C

  
Like a dictionary to an author, the C Standard is an essential reference for C programmers. Whether you write tools, compilers, or programs you will need to refer to the latest international standard that defines the language in order to be sure your code runs correctly.

  
The complete, current international C Standard incorporating Technical Corrigendum 1 is better known as C99 + TC although it is technically BS ISO/IEC 9899:1999 as approved by all national standards bodies (such as ANSI). This hardback edition is the ONLY available bound paper version of the standard and is ideal for keeping to hand for easy reference.

  
Additionally, you will find in the first part of the volume the C rationale, which provides a valuable insight into why certain decisions were made during the creation of the language. The book has an introduction by Francis Glassborow explaining the standards process and how to participate. Dennis Ritchie, creator of the language, provides the Foreword.
