- Despite the differences in wording and formatting, are _ISO/IEC_
- _9899:1990_(E),_First_Edition_1990-12-15_ and _American_National_Standard_
- _X3.159-1989_ different in any way with respect to the language specifications
- or implications thereof?
-
- Do these two documents represent the most current and widespread C
- standard(s)?
-
- Please tell me if the following statement is true: The C programming
- language as defined by _ISO/IEC_9899:1990_(E),_First_Edition_1990-12-15_, the C
- programming language as defined by _American_National_Standard_X3.159-1989_,
- ISO C, and ANSI C are all one and the same thing, with no differences
- whatsoever.
-
- If not true, what are the differences (the major ones, anyway)?
-
- Followup articles are encouraged. (Electronic mail is hard for me to
- access.)
-
- Thanks!
