C90 pdf, available from ANSI

[S.Tobias]

Since I haven't found any recent reference to it in csc or clc, I would
like to bring Readers' attention to the apparent availability of C90
Standard in electronic form from www.ansi.org. I haven't actually
bought it, and I have rather assumed it's a PDF file (but too many things
indicate it is).

(I hope I'm not discovering something that's been obvious for a long
time; somehow I never bumped into these things right down before.)


Here are the details, pasted from ANSI site:

I've been calling it "Australian Rules C"

http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.c/search?group=comp.lang.c&q="australian+rules+C"

.... because it starts like this:

AS 3955—1991
ISO/IEC 9899: 1990
Australian Standard
Programming languages—C

Alternate spellings? such as what? I don't think there are any alternate
spellings in standard C. oh, wait... is this just c94 and iso646.h?

In news:[email protected], Jordan Abel va escriure:

It is not C94 as a whole, it is just the First Amendment, that is, the text
added to C90 to form C94. It is also known as MSE.
Yes, it includes (for the first time) the specifications of <iso646.h> to be
%:include'd

More or less 50 pages.

Darn, forgot to write the number of the second document,
so for the record, here are its details again:

Document#: DIN EN 29899

I've been calling it "Australian Rules C"

It's missing mention of marks and runners. That's OK though, union is
just as Australian even if it was inherited (that'll have to be emulated,
this isn't "Australian Rules C++" after all) - and our other inheritance
has basic support in 5-count for loops.

(if bemused, Google "Australian Rules")

... because it starts like this:

AS 3955—1991
ISO/IEC 9899: 1990
Australian Standard

If you're going to buy the Aussie version anyway, you could also pay us a
virtual visit:

or if you must have the ISO publication - hardcopy only:
