John Love-Jensen <eljay@xxxxxxxxx> asks on Mon, 28 Nov 2005 07:50:38 -0600: >> Is there a "Design & Evolution of C", something akin to Stroustrup's "Design >> & Evolution of C++"? I am unaware of any such book for C. However, the five editions of Harbison and Steele's book (I cited only the fifth) provide a superb review of the state of the art, and its historical development, in C implementations. I have two copies of each, one for home, and one for office. You can find BibTeX entries for all of them in the bibliography at http://www.math.utah.edu/pub/tex/bib/index-table-u.html#unix That bibliography also cites important books by Gallmeister, Lewine, Rochkind, Robbins (three different writers: Arnold, Kay, and Steven), Stevens, and Zlotnick, on Unix and POSIX systems and network programming. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Nelson H.
