Any book you'd recommend to back up your claims?

  "The C Programming Language" from K&R is something everyone should read, even if they are not fond of C. "Expert C Programming" [1]. Not up to date, but written from a C compiler writer standpoint. A lot of references to why C (and libs) are the way they are.

    How does K&R back up the claims you've made here?

  Modern C, by Jens Gustedt is one of the best books on C that I have read. That said, I don't think it scratches the surface of backing up the parents claims––though if anyone know of such a text please let me know.

  How about learning some C instead of asking passive aggressive questions all over this discussion?

    You'll be relieved to know I've been writing C code of varying quality for like fifteen years on and off. These days I get asked to write Go most of the time and we've gotten rid of the last C codebase we were maintaining a while ago, but I'm always down for discussion of strict aliasing rules or stupid preprocessor tricks.
