N1124 consists of the C99 standard with the first two Technical Corrigenda merged into it. It's not particularly useful given the existence of N1256. N1256 consists of the C99 standard with the three Technical Corrigenda merged into it. It's arguably more useful than the C99 standard itself (which costs money) -- but of course the C99 standard itself is officially obsolete. N1336 is a draft of C201x (later called C11), not useful if you have N1570. N1570 is the most recent available draft of C11. I haven't been able to find any public drafts of C17. After N1570, there are a number of password protected PDFs that are about the same size as the standard drafts. Presumably they're for internal use by the committee. N2310 appears to be the earliest draft of the upcoming C202x standard, and N2956 is probably the latest. (C202x will probably be C2023.) All actual C standards cost money. -- Keith Thompson (The_Other_Keith) Keith.S.Thompson+u@gmail.com Working, but not speaking, for Philips void Void(void) { Void(); } /* The recursive call of the void */
