ISO Updates C Standard

Posted by timothy on from the now-known-as-d-no-wait dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has published the new specifications for the C programming language. The standard is known unofficially as C1X and was published officially as ISO/IEC 9899:2011. It provides greater compatibility with the C++ language and adds new features to C (as indicated in the draft)."

    Seriously, though, am I the only one who finds it strange that one has to buy copies of the standard?

      Actually though, most of us. Changes to the C standard are a big deal.
