It's entirely possible I'm misremembering, but I could swear it was in Amendment 1/C95, not in C90. I have this distinct memory about making jokes about how C95 and Windows 95 were both outdated technologies the day they were released. ;-)
I thought C90 was essentially just a reformatting of C89. Interestingly, the ANSI C page agrees with me: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_C#C95 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_C#C95
- kps 11y agoAh, got it. C89 had wchar_t, defined in <stddef.h>, but <wchar.h> and <wctype.h> didn't show up until '95, so it wasn't very useful. Hence my vestigial memory of it being a prematurely standardized checkbox feature.
