c99 docs - any good?

[mechanicfem]

Lately I've been trying to learn about new stuff in c99 - today's topic
was/is variable length arrays.

As well as asking here, I've been 'doing the rounds' via Google, and
recently I found this article:

http://www.informit.com/guides/content.asp?g=cplusplus&seqNum=215

It didn't help me much re my earlier question about using [*]

However, could someone tell me if this article is /reasonable/?

For example, the article mentions variadic macros, and __VA_ARGS__ -
however, I cannot find __VA_ARGS__ in the draft ISO spec I have, and so
I wonder if it's genuine?

I've also noted a couple of things that don't make sense that 'make me
wonder' about its quality, e.g.,

struct Employee
{
....
}

Followed by (note the missing /struct/)

Employee emp = {.ID=0, .record=NULL};

I guess my question really is - where can I find examples of /new/ c99
features, c/w readable descriptions?

Sorry, didn't mean to - I thought the first post had got lost - as it
didn't appear in google groups, and I'd added a P.S. to the original -
so I reposted the whole thing.
