Jens Gustedt, author of Modern C, senior
scientist at the French National Institute for Computer Science
and Control (INRIA), deputy director of the ICube lab, and former
co-editor of the ISO C standard, speaks with SE Radio host Gavin
Henry about the past 5 years in C, C2Y, and C23. They discuss
what has happened in the C world since we last spoke 5 years ago,
including how the latest C standard is going and what to expect.
Jens discusses how the latest changes in the Modern C book apply
to you, how a C transition header can help you get up to C23 if
you're not there already, and presents a comprehensive approach
for program failure. This episode explores C2Y, C23, bit-precise
types, stdckdint.h, stdbit.h, 128 bit types, enumeration types,
nullptr, Syntactic annotations, auto and typeof keywords, if let,
as well as what's being added and removed in C2Y (possibly called
"C28"), and Gustedt's four categories of program failure.
