So far, I have seen three documents: The v7 documentation has within it a single page detailing some recent changes to C. The 4.1 bsd documentation has, hidden within it, some recent changes to the compiler listed. I also have seen a BTL memo discussing (at greater length than either of the above) recent changes to C. My problem is that none of them seem to agree. Each one of them mentions changes that the others don't. Also some things seem to work on 4.1 bsd (what I'm currently running under) that are not mentioned in the documentation. I would like to know if there is a standard set of additions to the language that should be portable across C systems. I am especially interested in porting from 4.1 bsd to BTL UNIX, as I must do so in a few weeks. Also, the v7 sheet is dated 1978 and the BTL memo (3621-791002.02TM) is dated 1979. Have any changes been made since? Please respond via mail. Thanks in advance, Tom Clark, University of Illinois CS
