Publisher's Synopsis
Experienced programmers have hailed C as the programming language of the 1980's. It is portable, pervasive and offers programmers unprecedented freedom. But without occasional help, programming C can be both time-consuming and frustrating, even for wizards. You can compile and link a program, only to discover it won't execute correctly. Or it executes for XenixTM but not PCIXTM.;C Wizard's Programming Reference is a quick reference guide that is packed with techniques, tips and tactics to help you solve the many glitches that can arise with C, or show you how to avoid them in the first place. It launches you on your journey to becoming a true C wizard by helping you quickly write trouble- free, portable programs that take full advantage of the language's features.;Designed for fast access, this reference furnishes a comprehensive overview of the language, a summary of MicrosoftsTM new Xenix/MS-DOSTM compiler run-time library (ANSI X3J11) and current extensions likely to be adopted by the ANSI X3J11 C standards committee. It clarifies areas of C that are often misunderstood or used incorrectly, such as the relationship between multi-dimensional arrays and pointers, function and argument misdeclarations, and pointers and structures. There are scores of summary charts and diagrams, and a detachable quick reference card you can keep by your keyboard. So now if you find yourself in a corner, you can help yourself get out.
