C99

Where can I find a good introduction to the features introduced in C99? I just realized that my C is still stuck with K&R ed. 2.

That'd be committing the standard library to just one kind of interface
That's when you'd reinvent a wheel. Right now we're always reinventing the wheel.

I really don't want to be writing (or importing) Yet Another Hash Table anymore. I've done my time, so to speak.

The C stdlib has aged fairly well
To extend the argument, if there was no library, there would be nothing to age. :)

Besides, I disagree to some extent. String handling in particular needs an overhaul.

Plus, being small it's rather easy to learn
That much is true.
