They changed a bit.  For one thing, the term "effective type" was
introduced into C99 -- but that's just terminology.  Prior to C99, the
rules were just about what types of lvalue can be used to access an
object.  These rules refer only to the declared type of the object, so
what is and is not permitted for objects with no declared type
(i.e. those that are dynamically allocated) was left unsaid.  The term
"effective type" seems to have been introduced in order to be able to
talk about such objects, but the rules for objects with a declared type
remain the same.

c is strong spiritual thing but it also has some serious annoyancies.. besides that, besides mastering c, one need also practicise some libraries, whose also besides the glory, got serious annoyancyes, and then, finaly, one need to master some topics which bring another monstrous annoyances.. belive me 
(nearly 10 years of consecutive c exp) it is at all more pain than some may think

Objective C is a separate language, that adds a object-oriented layer 
with a message passing model on top of C.  It is almost exclusively an 
Apple language, used for Mac and iThingie programming.  Unless you 
intend to program for that world exclusively, forget about Objective C. 
  When you have got a solid base on C, there are many other programming 
languages to choose from out there - some derived from C, others 
completely different.

Outside of Apple programming, the only use I know of for Objective C is 
to prove that C++ template syntax is not as ugly as it could have been!

And I think Apple is encouraging a transition from Objective-C to Swift,
so future prospects for Objective-C might be limited.  On the other
hand, there are Objective-C compilers at least for non-Apple Unix-like
systems, and probably for Windows as well (gcc supports Objective-C).

Swift is currently supported only for Apple systems, but that's supposed
to change later this year.
