Customer Reviews

Very Good Deal

The other reviewers said the annotations were crap, so I haven't bothered reading them for the most part, and when I did they weren't much help. Personally, I haven't found any of the errors they have been talking about (it would be nice if these critics were more specific) but I haven't been looking.very carefully. (...) I use it all the time. Generally, I consider the 9899:1990 ANSI standard of C to be the "gold standard" I want to adhere to if I'm in C - the few enhancements to the language that have come along since then aren't worth using, since the maintainer of your code will probably be using the 1989 k & r as his language reference manual, so he won't understand those enhancements, plus you may want to port to a platform that doesn't support them.
