What is the "ANSI C Standard"?
Frequently Asked Questions: C Language (abridged)In 1983, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) commissioned a committee to standardize the C language. Their work was ratified as ANS X3.159-1989, and has since been adopted as ISO/IEC 9899:1990, and later amended.
Where can I get a copy of the ANSI/ISO C Standard?
Tools and ResourcesTwo available packages are ''defunc,'' posted to comp.sources.misc in December, 1993 (V41 i32,33), to alt.sources in January, 1994, and available from sunsite.unc.edu in pub/packages/development/libraries/defunc-1.3.tar.Z, and ''parse,'' at lamont.ldgo.columbia.edu. Other options include the S-Lang interpreter, available via anonymous ftp from amy.tch.harvard.edu in pub/slang, and the shareware Cmm (''C-minus-minus'' or ''C minus the hard stuff''). See also questions 18.16 and 20.6.
Is Micro-C a full ANSI compiler?
FAQsMICRO-C is a "near ANSI" subset compiler. It does however, support more of the 'C' language than most other subset compilers, including: Micro-C has a long history, and began life as a K&R only compiler. It has evolved toward ANSI quite a bit, and continues to do so, however it is NOT a fully ANSI compliant compiler, and most likely never will be..
How can I turn off the ANSI C warnings?
Frequently Asked QuestionsANSI C lets you allocate zero-byte memory segments and returns a non-null address that is distinct from other zero-byte allocations. ANSI C also lets you call free() and realloc() with a null pointer. These allocation procedures are incompatible with some C compilers and can compromise the portability of your programs. Memory Advisor processes these types of allocations and automatically issues a warning message for them.
What is NSF/ANSI Standard 61?
NSF International : Plastics Piping System Components : Freq...NSF/ANSI Standard 61 is entitled Drinking Water System Components-Health Effects. This is the American National Standard for health effects of drinking water system components. It establishes the health effects requirements for the chemical contaminants and impurities that are indirectly imparted to drinking water from products, components and materials used in drinking water systems.
What about [ANSI CL standard] compliance?
Appendix A. Frequently Asked Questions (With Answers) about ...CLISP purports to conform to the [ANSI CL standard] specification, so all deviations in $ clisp -ansi On the other hand, some decisions made by the ANSI X3J13 committee were not as justified from the technical point of view as were most of them, and some of those questionable decisions were made after the alternative behavior has already been implemented in CLISP.
Is C++ backward compatible with ANSI/ISO C?
Big Picture Issues Updated! , C++ FAQ LiteC++ is as close as possible to compatible with C, but no closer. In practice, the major difference is that C++ requires prototypes, and that f() declares a function that takes no parameters (in C, a function declared using f() can be passed an arbitrary number of parameters of arbitrary types). There are some very subtle differences as well, like sizeof('x') is equal to sizeof(char) in C++ but is equal to sizeof(int) in C.
What are the differences between the old ANSI standard and the new ASTM standard?
Frequently Asked QuestionsThe major performance characteristics that have changed from the old standard to the new are the removal of those for Type II Static Dissipative and Class 30 for impact and compression requirements. As a result, the significant majority of protective footwear that met ANSI Z41 PT99 will now meet the new ASTM F2412-05 and F2413-05. All of the protective footwear that Tyndale sells meet the new ASTM standard.
Are hash tables part of the C++ standard?
SGI STL: Frequently Asked QuestionsNo. The hash table classes (hash_set, hash_map hash_multiset hash_multimap hash) are an extension. They may be added to a future revision of the C++ standard.
People keep telling me that getch() is not standard, but my C compiler has it. Are they wrong?
Infrequently Asked Questions in comp.lang.cThey've been programming more than ten years. You haven't. Draw your own conclusions. That's right! They hadn't noticed it. No doubt their compilers have it too, and its behavior is identical everywhere else in the world, also. That would explain everything.
Can I install ansi-c cgi scripts?
MEGATON FAQNo. You can only install cgi scripts written in PERL in your cgi-bin directory. There are hundreds of PERL cgi scripts available for free download on the Internet.
What does the warning ''semantics of '>' change in ANSI C'' mean?
ExpressionsThis message represents an attempt by certain (perhaps overzealous) compilers to warn you that some code may perform differently under the ANSI C ''value preserving'' rules than under the older ''unsigned preserving'' rules.
If these are ANSI C libraries, what makes them specific to any specific processor ?
Numerix - SigLib FAQThe libraries are coded entirely in ANSI C and so they are portable across all processors however there are a whole load of issues to consider, including :
How was NSF/ANSI Standard 61 developed? How is it maintained?
NSF International : Water Distribution : Frequently Asked Qu...NSF/ANSI Standard 61 is overseen by the NSF Drinking Water Additives Joint Committee. This committee has a balance of 1/3 public health regulatory members, 1/3 product manufacturer members, and 1/3 product user representatives. Any proposal to revise the standard is typically assigned to a task group composed of joint committee members and external experts. Task group members are assigned by the chairman of the joint committee. One standing group is the Health Advisory Board.
