C Programming Language :: Online "flat" ISO C resource wanted.


	Online "flat" ISO C resource wanted. Can anyone recommend a good online resource listing all C keywords, standard system calls, defines etc in a "flat" hierarchy. I wish to set up some bindings in order to bring up "hints and tips" on using such keywords/functions from ISO C in an IDE I am working on. So I would bring up a function and use the current word as the search criteria to locate an online library/faq e.g http://resources.c.all/malloc http://resources.c.all/typedef http://resources.c.all/EXIT_SUCCESS etc Links to any and all of your favorite online C resources appreciated.

A shame though that the functions are URL'd based on their include file name though. e.g http://www.dinkumware.com/manuals/?manual=compleat&page=stdio.html#FILE This url would not be trivial to construct. Where did you find the keyword list though?

Try: > <http://cbfalconer.home.att.net/download/n869_txt.bz2> I don't see how that addresses what I was looking for. You snipped the example of the format I needed to bring up the info from an IDE for some reason. How would you automate an IDE to open that file and find a programmers guide to "typedef" for example? The example I gave for what I was looking for was something like http://xxx.yyy/c/typedef.htm > (and don't forget to expand the download with bzip2) Would you like to explain how I should tie my shoelaces too? In addition, why do you not put a proper extension on the compressed file content so that most of us can use default applications to view the thing? No one uses underscore followed by type definition. It is "." (period) followed by extension type. <signature snipped manually> Tony Mc <a@btinternet.com> writes: > On Thu, 31 May 2007 02:09:14 +0200, Richard <rgr@gmail.com> wrote: >> a "flat" hierarchy. > That's either a contradiction or perhaps a tower block. > Tony You're quite right - when typing I couldn't think of any other. But I think flat hierarchies do exist.

If you read the standard you will have some idea of the capabilities (and limitations) of the C language. There are very few limitations, rather constraints. With an adequate knowledge of the language you can then write your own utilities, list the keywords, etc. They are all in the standard. -- <http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut001/pubs/vista_cost.txt> <http://www.securityfocus.com/columnists/423> <http://www.aaxnet.com/editor/edit043.html> <http://kadaitcha.cx/vista/dogsbreakfast/index.html> cbfalconer at maineline dot net -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com - Hide quoted text - CBFalconer <cbfalco@yahoo.com> writes: > Richard wrote: >> CBFalconer <cbfalco@yahoo.com> writes: >>> Richard wrote: >>>> Can anyone recommend a good online resource listing all C keywords, >>>> standard system calls, defines etc in a "flat" hierarchy. >>>> I wish to set up some bindings in order to bring up "hints and >>>> tips" on using such keywords/functions from ISO C in an IDE I am >>>> working on.

Did you even try to read and understand my request? I am looking for a resource that I can bring up in a context sensitive manner in an IDE. I know what the standard is. I know where I can find it. I know how to open a compressed file. Do try and read the request. You can not blindly throw the "standard" is everyones face.. It might keep you fascinated in the bathroom but its not necessarily the best resource for real life, live programming jobs using a real IDE on a real code base. > -- > <http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut001/pubs/vista_cost.txt> > <http://www.securityfocus.com/columnists/423> > <http://www.aaxnet.com/editor/edit043.html> > <http://kadaitcha.cx/vista/dogsbreakfast/index.html> > cbfalconer at maineline dot net -- Richard wrote, On 31/05/07 01:09: > Can anyone recommend a good online resource listing all C keywords, > standard system calls, defines etc in a "flat" hierarchy. > I wish to set up some bindings in order to bring up "hints and tips" on > using such keywords/functions from ISO C in an IDE I am working on.

The URLs for the library are slightly different. If you go this route then discussion about formatting etc belongs on the Wiki, although obviously questions about correctness of the information are fine here. -- Flash Gordon - Hide quoted text - Richard wrote: > Can anyone recommend a good online resource listing all C keywords, > standard system calls, defines etc in a "flat" hierarchy. > I wish to set up some bindings in order to bring up "hints and tips" on > using such keywords/functions from ISO C in an IDE I am working on.

Yes, writing an IDE implies writing the documentation. The Ide I wrote has a documentation for all the C library. Each time I added a function to the library of lcc-win32, I wrote the documentation for it in html format. Then, a simple table in the IDE allows you to get at all those definitions without the chore of accessing the internet. Years of work, mostly for no tangible reward but the joy of having written a good system. jacob Richard <rgr@gmail.com> writes: > CBFalconer <cbfalco@yahoo.com> writes: [...] >> The C standard specifies all that.

Well, if I were going to use n869.txt for that purpose, I'd probably create an index specifying where the information on "typedef" appears (an offset, suitable for fseek(), and the length of the relevant material). The IDE could then extract and display the appropriate text. Admittedly, it's not clear that displaying direct excerpts of the standard (or rather of a draft of the standard) is the best thing to do in general -- but for some users (me, for example), it could be.

If you already know how to use bzip2, just ignore the advice. We've already seen that at least one person had trouble with the concept.

No one uses underscore followed by type definition. It is "." > (period) followed by extension type. Some operating systems don't allow more than one '.' character in a file name. Having said that, I agree that "n869.txt.bz2" would be a better name. But I assume you're able to rename the file yourself after you download it. > <signature snipped manually> Good for you.
