Solutions in C

Advanced Techniques for Experienced C Programmers

Solutions in C is an advanced guide to designing powerful and efficient C programs. Written for software designers and programming professionals using C under any of the major operating systems (including UNIX and M/PC DOS), this book contains hundreds of clear and concise programming tips. Tit takes you far beyond the fundamentals of the language and shows not just how to program in C, but how to actually engineer a C project.

Using practical examples and tools, Solutions in C evenhandedly illustrates the kind of tasks for which C is best suited (and those for which it isn't). A member of the ANSI X3J11 C Language Standards Committee, Jaeschke has included specific references to the proposed ANSI standard and throughout the book highlighted its most important new features. Included in Solutions in C are chapters on:

• Structures, Bit Fields, and Unions
• Arrays (including Multidimensional Arrays)
• Function Definition, Reference, and Pointers to Functions
• Data Storage —- The Stack and Heap
• Headers and the Preprocessor
• Program Startup and Termination
• The RUn-Time Library

Appendices cover the forthcoming ANSI Standard Headers, a summary of the proposed ANSI standard itself, and a list of recommended reading.

A decent book of its time. Young beginning programmers could learn a thing or two from this one.
