ISO/IEC 9899:1999 is 554 pages, and the annex alone takes around 140 pages.
ANSI ISO 9899:1990 is even shorter: 230 pages.
- steveklabnik 9y agoI'm going by ISO/IEC 9899:201x, the draft, since I have not paid for the spec. This does include annexes, but some of them are normative... Really though, this just furthers my point; page count is a terrible metric for this.
