Modern C [pdf]

I wish I could like this book, but after reviewing the first chapter I can only imagine the confusion of students. I support very much the idea of breaking the book into levels, but it attempts to cover far too much, far too quickly and I don't believe this book would be useful for those who are not already familiar with the language. I've been writing C since the late 1980s, moved to mostly C++ by the mid 90s, C#…

I might have to make a What has changed in C since 1980 page for old programmers. I've tried to stay current, but I learned something from this book already: size_t strlen(char const string[static 1]); int main(int argc, char* argv[argc+1]); This allegedly helps prevent null pointers from being passed in, and presumably tells the analyzers and optimizers some things they should know. It's worth a look at C11 as well, some of what you might have used gcc or clang…

Anyone knows why Firefox pdfjs fails to follow links to chapters correctly?
