**Title**: 'New' Features of C\\
**Proposer**: [[2015:Dan Saks]]\\
**Type**: Tutorial\\
**Duration**: 90 mins\\
**Description**: \\
The first international standard for the C programming
language was C90.  Since then, two newer standards have been published,
C99 and C11.  C99 introduced a significant number of new features.  C11
introduced a few more, some of which have been available in compilers for
some time.  Curiously, many of these added features don't seem to have
caught on.  Many C programmers still program in C90.\\
\\
This session explains many of these 'new' features, including declarations
in for-statements, extended integer types, compound literals, designated
initializers, restricted pointers, anonymous structures and unions,
alignment support, and static assertions.\\
