I didn't know the C std was still being modified/enhanced. Interesting. Does sound scary.

- rootbear 8y agoAll ANSI standards are required to be maintained and updated periodically, or they lapse. That can be as simple as rubber stamping the last standard, but in practice, there are usually a few tweaks needed.
- andrewmcwatters 8y agoIt hasn't been updated in any meaningful sense beyond C89, though.
- hood_syntax 8y agointtypes was pretty big, right? I know it's just one header, but it's an important thing to have in the standard for a systems language.
- pjmlp 8y agoC'mon it even has some kind of primitive generics support nowadays, which other modern languages keep ignoring.
- platinumrad 8y agoC11 generic selection is basically not worth using and almost worse than not having "generics" at all. It exists so tgmath.h can be written without implementation magic but tgmath.h is kind of a garbage fire itself.
- bumblebritches5 8y agoCould you possibly be more out of the loop, and yet confident you're in the loop? C99 is a huge leap, then there's _Generic, _Atomic, etc in C11.
