C90, like all later standards, supports file operations only in hosted
implementations, not in freestanding implementations.  Even on a
conforming hosted implementation, every call to fopen() could fail.

C90 will never be extended.  It was made obsolete by C99, which was made
obsolete by C11, which was made obsolete by C23.  You're free to invent
your own language based on C90 if you like, but C went in a different
direction decades ago.

Yeah, well said.

I've been working with C90 for almost 40 years.

Maybe I'm a slow learner, but so far I haven't seen anything
wrong with it. It's good enough to write an entire OS and
supporting tools - quibbling aside.

Maybe in the next 40 years I will learn enough about languages
that I can see why it so desperately needs a revamp as per
C99 etc.

In the meantime, I'm more interested in solving this problem
that someone else wrote about:

https://www.quora.com/Why-did-you-leave-a-job-as-a-software-engineer/answer/
Jeff-Sturm-2

(I had a similar complaint, but never wrote it down or had the
ability to express it as well as this guy did).

The problems in the IT industry aren't going to be solved by
a new version of ISO C that supports edge-triggered, pre
and post-emptive multi-hyper-threaded apps with parallel
predictive circularly-redundant cyber-stalked channel-driven
variables or whatever they're peddling these days.

They're going to be solved by people actually understanding
the systems they support. And understanding some other
very very basic stuff. Like even understanding the definition
of "broken". "No-one else (that I've spoken to in the last
5 minutes) is complaining" is not the definition of "working fine".
Nor is "the IT department didn't inform us of any outage".

Sure.

Similarly, C99, C11 and even C17 are stable and are valuable because of 
that stability.  It's good that developers have, to a fair extent at 
least, an option to pick their stable point for their projects.

It is actually not the fact that C has had stability in its standards 
that is valuable.  Python 1.0 has not changed - it is stable.  What 
makes C different as a development language is two things - modern tools 
continue to support old standards, and new standards are, to a very 
large extent, compatible with the old standards.

And this also means that "extending C90" (or any other C standard) is an 
oxymoron, counter to the whole point of standards, and the antithesis of 
why C has remained popular (or at least useful) for so long.

Certainly the version on one of my ancient laptops never will be. 
Indeed, I deprive it of an Internet connection for precisely that 
reason. Vista is what it is, and has no business changing. If I 
want to change the OS I'll buy a bloody CD-ROM.

Operating systems have least excuse of all for turning rock into 
sand. It's harder to build stable software if it has to sit on 
top of amorphous gloop.

Did I say 'harumph' yet? No?

HARUMPH!

On a related note, I can still compile unix C code I wrote in the 90s at uni
without any changes on linux and mac.

And I can write code I wrote that complied with the ANSI 89
draft available circa 1987 on Windows 10.

I can't run Windows 11 on the computer I smuggled out of
Communist China (with Zhaoxin processor).

My main development machine/environment is Windows 2000
which I run under Virtualbox currently (under Windows 10
currently, but previously Linux), but did at one point run
on a Pinebook Pro (ARM64).

Windows 2000 was the last version to not require "activation".

It also runs OS/2 1.0 programs.

I don't deny it access to the internet - and in fact, this message
is coming to you directly from the Windows 2000 system
running Outlook Express.

I can't connect to many sites though. But that in itself is a
warning to not rely on the internet as you know it being
perpetual. Enron suddenly collapsed without warning too.

It's also capable of running Visual Studio 2005, which means
I can target x64 processors, even though I can't run the
executables themselves. Although I will normally use cc64
as my x64 compiler, which I can also run as a 32-bit program.
I expect to investigate mm64 one day, but still have other
priorities.

I don't often need to run x64 executables, but when I do, I
copy them to my Windows 10 system, that Windows 2000
is running under.

And here are my size constraints:

2025-05-14  06:15 AM    20,401,095,168 win2000.vhd
2025-05-14  06:15 AM    19,327,353,344 pauldata.vhd

I think my Pinebook Pro was 64 GB storage.

If I give up Visual Studio 2005, I can reduce the win2k
down to about 4 GB I think, meaning I can cope with
a 32 GB storage machine.

Note that the VHD can be mounted on Windows 10
natively, but I don't currently need to do that. I instead
have a shared folder c:\w2kshare on my Windows 10
system, and something from Virtualbox installed on
the w2k system so that I have a Z drive.

I'm officially "apocalypse-ready". The Zhaoxin processor
will make me Last Man Standing if I backed the wrong
horse.

BFN. Paul.

C99 is just as stable as C90, and has been for well over a
decade.

C11 is just as stable as C90, and has been for just slightly
less than a decade.

Sure, but it's a different stable.

If it were the same stable, it would be C90.

C99 isn't C90, therefore it isn't the same stable.

If you tell me C99 is a rock, I will not doubt you. But the C90 
rock it most certainly isn't.

Now you're being silly.  The adjective "stable" means "unchanging".
C99 and C11 are just as unchanging as C90, and so just as stable.

If you want to say C90 has some other quality that C99 or C11
doesn't, by all means do so.  But don't play word games or distort
the English language in an effort to make C90 something it isn't.

No, sir. If you want to play that game, you can play it with 
yourself. I know that you are perfectly capable of polite 
conversation, so I see no reason to endure the opposite.

I don't think I'm being impolite.  I think your comments
were deliberately playing games with language, to make a
point that has nothing to do with what I said.  I don't
think it's rude or even inconsiderate to point that out.
If someone wants to say it could have been pointed out in
a better way, okay, probably it could have been, but it
wasn't meant as a personal comment, and I think that was
evident from the rest of what I said (which was left out
in your followup message).

Then we are again in disagreement, and it seems obvious that it 
would be foolishly optimistic of me to expect to be able to 
resolve the matter. I'll tell Thunderbird to leave it there.

Apparently my words were taken with a meaning I didn't intend.
I'm sorry that this happened.

  Methinks Tim is having trouble with his arithmetic. Either that or he
doesn't know what year it is now. :)
  C99 was ratified in 1999, over two and a half decades ago.

  And C11 was ratified in 2011, no? That was almost a decade and a half
ago.

Tim was, I believe, taking into account the time it took for common 
implementations of C compilers and libraries to have complete and 
generally bug-free support for the standards, and for these 
implementations to become common.  C99 was published in 1999, but it 
took quite a while before most people programming in C could happily use 
C99 without worrying about the tool support being "experimental" or not 
as mature as C90 support.
