Hi all.
I'm looking for good C source code to study and be able to advance my C
programming skills. Do you recomend any open source project in particular
that in your opinion has good writen C code?
(I must disagree with August Derleth about the topicality of this question.
I can think of no better place to ask about good C source code than a good
C newsgroup!)
If you're looking for good C source code, look no further than comp.lang.c.
If you want to advance your C programming skills, you are already at the
right place. Read the group regularly, and (once you have worked out who
knows what they're talking about and who doesn't) you'll pick up a vast
number of useful tips on how to use the language correctly and skilfully.
You don't have to wait for discussions to happen, either, since Google has
archives for this newsgroup going back to - er, no, it even goes back
further than that.
A brief, non-exhaustive list of names worth looking out for (past and
present) - every one of these people is a C expert:
Martin Ambuhl
Christian Bau
Dann Corbit
Douglas Gwyn
Lawrence Kirby
Jack Klein
Ben Pfaff
P J Plauger
Dan Pop
"Noone Really"
Will Rose
Eric Sosman
Richard Stamp
Keith Thompson
Chris Torek
Stephan Wilms
Dik Winter
Like I said, it's non-exhaustive. But basically, if you focus on articles by
these people, you'll pick up a lot of good stuff. Then find out who agrees
with them (on the whole!), and you'll find your way to other clueful
articles.
It's not the best way to /learn/ C, by any means, but if you've already
"learned" C, this is a great way to find out what you got wrong and what
you missed.
