Dr. Dobb's Toolbook of C

From the pages of the highly respected Dr. Dobb's Journal comes this virtual encyclopedia of information, programs and insights on the powerful C language. As a major propoent of the capabilities of C, Dr. Dobb's presents this compilation of updated and thoroughly revised articles and essays designed to give you a deeper understanding of C and how to utilize it to its fullest.

Here you'll find an enture C compiler with all its support routines. Plus, you'll discover versions of various utility programs such as Grep and a C program cross-referencer. Several previously unpublished programs are included, along with an augmented version of the Small-C compiler with assembler, linker, librarian, I/O library, and a complete set of software tools. It's an invaluable resource you'll turn to again and again for an in-depth appreciation of C.
