Hope to see an updated edition of "The C programming language" for C99.
- luriel 15y agoSadly that is unlikely now that DMR is dead :( But another collaboration with Rob Pike on a book about Go is likely.
- pjmlp 15y agoI had hoped for it as well, but it might never happen. Now we have already C11, and AFAIK there isn't a single compiler that fully supports C99, let alone C11. Then we have companies like Microsoft which nowadays care only about C++, and won't improve the C standard support beyond C89 on their compiler.
- octopus 15y agoI think gcc and (maybe) clang have good support for C99: http://gcc.gnu.org/c99status.html http://gcc.gnu.org/c99status.html
- pjmlp 15y agoGood support is not 100%. Plus not all projects are allowed to use gcc or clang. Case in point, I worked in a project where the UNIX compilers used had to be the standard vendor ones for Aix, HP-UX and Solaris.
