ANSI/ISO/IEC 9899-1999
Programming Languages - C
Specifies the form and establishes the interpretation of programs written in the C programming language. This standard specifies: (1) the representation of C programs, (2) the syntax and constraints of the C language, (2) the semantic rules for interpreting C programs, (3) the representation of input data to be processed by C programs, (4) the representation of output data produced by C programs and (5) the restrictions and limits imposed by a conforming implementation of C. This standard does not specify: (1) the mechanism by which C programs are transformed for use by a data-processing system, (2) the mechanism by which C programs are invoked for use by a data-processing system, (3) the mechanism by which input data are transformed for use by a C program, (4) the mechanism by which output data are transformed after being produced by a C program, (5) the size or complexity of a program and its data that will exceed the capacity of any specific data-processing system or the capacity of a particular processor and (6) all minimal requirements of a data-processing system that is capable of supporting a conforming implementation. This standard was previously listed for Public Review in the January 2, 1998 and September 11, 1998 issues of Standards Action. It is being resubmitted due to substantive changes to the text.
