 | | In 1989, ANSI Standard X3.159 was released, and became the standard for the C programming language. Most modern C compilers implement the ANSI version of the language, including the compilers described in Chapter 1, Introduction to SVR4. In this appendix, we describe some of the more significant changes made in ANSI C. This is not an exhaustive list; if you need more information, you should consult the standard itself, or one of the numerous books on the topic (Kernighan and Ritchie, Second Edition, is the definitive reference). If you are already a proficient C programmer, you may wish to examine A C User's Guide to ANSI C, by Ken Arnold and John Peyton, published by Addison-Wesley. This book presents all the changes in a concise manner for readers who already know the pre-ANSI version of the language. | |
