statement:
This article was first in "9CBS Development Master" in May 2004, copyright belongs to the magazine and "programmer" magazine. The magazine is limited to the contents of the section, and this version is a relatively complete version.
This article is an introductory article, which will continue to update with the author of C language.
Foreword
I heard "I want to learn C !" In countless times, I heard "C too complicated, I really don't learn". Mr. Stan Lippman has pointed out that "C is one of the most difficult" Senior Programming languages "in the" C Primer "book, and people often go to express their awe of C . It is true that the C programming language is indeed a lot of difficultfront gaps in the learner. The system is huge, and it should be neglected and expanded. In addition, the more than the less interstitation of its learners, desire to be in depth Persevers are suffering. I hope this incomplete guidance can be a lead light on your C learning.
The original intention of writing this article is not intended to lead everyone to experience an old C history. If you want to know the history of C and its previous development, you should refer to Bjarne's "The Design and Evolution Of C ". Of course, I don't want to give everyone a packaged book (not for: one is limited by the level, the second helpless C is profound), the only one we think we think is to learn C readers Say the most important and tentacle development and learning resources.
This article introduces and analyzes some compilers, development environments, libraries, and a small amount of books and reference websites, and try to give a guide to use these resources, and hope to benefit to the same beginners like us.
translater
In any language other than C , the compiler has never received so much attention. Because C is a quite complex language, the compiler is also difficult to build. Until recently we can only use the compiler of the C standard (Oh, you might blame the compilers that comply with standard compilers as soon as possible, this can only blame their respective one of themselves. Wishing the standard). what? Do you say this? Oh, no, what you need is compiled with standardized C highly compatible. In the long run, only such a compiler is the most meaningful tool for C developers, especially for the learner of the programming language. One to sexual allows the code to be portable and make a language and its library applications more extensive. Well, yes, we only intend to introduce some recognized excellent compilers.
Borland C
This is the background compiler of Borland C Builder and Borland C Builder X. (Oh, I will be able to understand why, as Delphi7 to Delphi8 transformation is a revolutionary two generations.) Borland C is created by the old development tool manufacturer Borland. The company's compiler is fast, and the space efficiency is highly called, the Borland C series compiler adheres to this tradition, which belongs to a very high quality compiler. Standardization is 8.2.73% of the standardized C in the compiler of standardization. At present, the latest version is a version 6.0 version in Borland C Builder X. The official is 100% compliant with ANSI / ISO's C standards and C99 standards. Um ... this is the "fully compliant C standard compiler" earlier. Visual C
This is the C compiler we are well known to Visual Studio and Visual Studio.net 2002, 2003, and 2005 Whidbey. Developed by Microsoft. In Visual Studio 6.0, because there are too many places that have too many places that cannot appear in conjunction with the C standards (thinking about compiles when using STL). VC 6.0 is only 83.43% of the standardized C . However, with the C compiler design master Stanley Lippman and many C community Daren, in Visual Studio.Net 2003, the Visual C compiler has become a very mature and reliable C compiler. Dr.Dobb's Journals show that Visual C 7.1 is as high as 98.22% of standard C , once the best compatible compatibility before CBX. Combining a powerful Visual Studio.NET development environment is a very good choice. As for the Visual C of the Whidbey era, it seems that Microsoft is most concerned about C / CLI ... we don't want to comment on Microsoft's next-generation C compiler how standardization is compatible, but he is really suitable for .NET (in fact you and my feelings It may be the same, Microsoft should not throw the standard C this fat to Borland, but Microsoft may not think so).
GNU C
Famous open source C compiler. It is the first choice for writing C programs under UNIX operating systems. Features is very good portability, you can use it on a very wide platform, and it is also a good choice to write cross-platform, embedded programs. In addition, it has always been very good in accordance with this aspect of the standard, and GCC3.3 is probably 96.15%. However, due to its cross-platform characteristics, it is slightly different from the size of the code size.
There are many compilers based on GNU C , such as:
l mingw: http://www.mingw.org/
GCC's portfront (DEV-C background)
l cygwin: http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/
Another Windows transplant version of GCC is part of Cygwin, Cygwin is a UNIX simulation environment under Windows. Strictly said that the environment of simulating GNU, this is the meaning of "GNU's Not Unix" to express, hey, this is not the substantive content we care about here. l DJGPP: http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/
This is the DOS transplant version of GCC.
l rsxnt: http://www.mathematik.uni-bielefeld.de/~rainer/
This is the GCC's DOS and Windows transplant versions.
INTEL C
Famous CPU Manufacturers Intel Compiler, Special Design for Intel X86! For the CPU of the Intel X86 structure through special optimization. In some applications, high-performance applications such as numerical calculations, only use Intel's compiler compilation to greatly improve performance.
DIGITAL MARS C
Free download, Zortech / Symantec C successor, is also one of the protagonists in the fierce C four countries in the year.
Development environment
The development environment is self-evident for programmers. It is not easy to choose the environment where you have peaceful, especially in the case of Ide. Here is some of the common C development environments we recommend, and there is no small, rare IDE. Any of these is rich and can be used as daily development. For developers of different levels, see the description of the applicable object.
Visual Studio 6.0
Although this is the old version of Microsoft's old version, it is recommended that this development environment gives C beginners in view of the huge body of Visual Studio.net, and beginners are not so high. The most basic part of C , such as the part of C, of course, don't expect him to support the latest C99 standard. In daily development, there are still many companies that use this classic and stable environment. For example, the author will see that some companies have replaced their compilers to GCC to do mobile phone development.
Visual Studio.net 2003
As the latest version of the latest version of the officially released by Microsoft, there are too many exciting functions. Combine its latest C compiler. For developers with machine configuration, this development environment will be able to meet most of their requirements. Here is not intended to say Visual Studio whidbey alone, although Visual Studio .Net 2005 - Whidbey Community Preview has been launched, it is not very stable, readers can experience themselves.
Borland C Builder 6
This is not the latest version of Borland's C development environment. The reason for choosing it is that it is not written with Java, the speed is faster. It has a very perfect GUI form designer, and Delphi shares a VCL. Because of these features, it is more suitable for beginners to get started. However, due to the central position of its GUI, it may be not conducive to learning of C languages. Moreover, in order to support the VCL this Object Pascal written, C has passed some private expansion. There is a fact that people have to accept: "The master of Borland C Builder 6 is almost Delphi master."
Borland C Builder X
As mentioned above, although the version number and the previous IDE are very optical, they are actually a completely different two integrated development environments. C Builder is a development environment that is synchronized with Delphi synchronization, C Builderx is a feature-rich IDE that thinks from C 's perspective. The biggest feature is the integration of cross-platform, cross-block, multiple Framework, and there is a WXWindows-based GUI designer. Especially using pure C to override the entire Framework, abandoned the previously helpless version. For C development, it is ideal from compiler, to the library, to functional integration. It is foreseeable that Borland C Builder X 2.0 is worth a C enthusiast expectation. The only embarrassment is a development tool for C , and its IDE is written with Java, please carefully consider the installation in a machine that is not ideal enough. Emacs GCC
Most of the foregoing is an integrated development environment in the Windows environment. Developers on Linux more preferred to use Emacs to edit C files, with makefile to command GCC to compile. Although it looks relatively loose, these things are integrated or an open 0 environment. If you can use such ambient writing programs, your level should guide us to write this 文.
DEV C
GCC is a good compiler. When the C compiler on Windows has a distance from the standard, GCC is a compiler that makes the developer's drafted water under WINDOWS. DEV-C is the tool that enables GCC under Windows. As an integrated development environment, it also provides grammar that is comparable to professional IDE, code prompt, debugging and other functions. Due to the use of delphi development, the memory is less memory, the speed is very fast, and it is more suitable for lightweight learning and use.
Eclipse CDT
Eclipse has recently been famous for its famous development tools. The latest Jolt Grand Prize will give this outstanding god. Say that it is magical because it is written in Java, but has much speed than the general Java written. Moreover, because of the principle of plug-in assembly, a plug-in such a CDT becomes Eclipse into a C / C development environment. If you have always written Java programs with Eclipse, use it to experience the fun of C development.

Library
In C , the position of the library is very high. Mr. Bjarne Stroustrup, the father of C , has repeatedly expressed the design library to expand the function of designing more grammar. In reality, C library doors are also extremely widely solved, and the library has a lightweight to heavyweight. Many thinking of people who are open to the eyes, or they are angry. Since the number of libraries is very large, they are limited to the level of the author, many of which don't know. So some libraries mentioned in the article are more famous large libraries.
Standard library
The standard library provides basic facilities for C programs. Although the C standard library has been tossing with C standards until the standard introduction is formally fixed, it is very gratifying in the realization of the standard library, and has been proved to have an industrial level strength. Good job.

Boost libraries are launched by members of the C Standards Committee Working Group, which has greatly affected in the C community, and its members have nearly 2,000. The Boost library has brought us the latest, coolest, most practical technology, which is a "quasi" standard library. There are more famous libraries in Boost:
Regex Regular Expression Library
Spiritll Parser Framework, direct expression of EBNF with C code
GRAPH diagram assembly and algorithm
Lambda defines a short anonymous function object in the call, which is very practical functions.

SMART Pointers in boost, oh, this article can be found, CUJ is available online. The Chinese version of the pen is translated in the "DR. Dobb's Journal Software R & D Journal".
BOOST is generally a high value of high quality and high quality. And due to its emphasis on cross-platform, the standard C emphasizes the preparation of the platform-independent, modern C developers must. But there are many things in Boost to experimental nature, and practical use in actual development needs to be cautious. And many Boost's library functions are expanded to language functions, and their constructive use of the unacceptable technique, do not rash the time to study. Boost is another side, such as a library such as Graph is a boutique code with good industrial strength, very structural, very worthy of study, and can be safe in the product code.

books
In the past, Mr. Xiong Festival wrote a comment relative to the Java programming language, and the C has a good book. Mr. Glory wrote in "Programmer" magazine "C programming five books" will also have a comprehensive introduction of almost all classic books in the field, any comment on the book, it seems to be a lot. Personally see, unless you intend to use C as the only interest or survival, the general reader does not have enough time and need to read more than 20 books. More reference value is another article of Mr. Glory: "Nine C Works should be read at least", you can browse from the following address: http://www.roylealoo.com/articles/articles_2003/9cppbooks .htm
The following few books on the road of C beginners are our most willing to recommend it to everyone:
"C Primer"
Oh, maybe you will complain why we don't introduce TCPL first, but for the entrances you walk in the way of learning, this book is more comprehensive, more and more detailed, we call it "C Super Collection" is not too . It is equipped with a good exercise solution "C Primer Answer Book" can assist your learning path.
"Essential C "
If "C Primer" is a super collection of C fields, then this book is a big deserved view of the overall situation of C . As the book ".NET Great View" allows the reader to cover .NET, this book tells the most core all themes in C . Although the book is not thick, the content is refined, the subject matter of "C Primer" readers after the meal.
"THE C Programming Language"
Bjarne has brought the C tutorial, really tells you how to use the true C of C . Although the books such as "a programming language" will give you a content, it is not suitable for beginners, but the book is really less suitable for beginners. If you think it is a very experienced C programmer, then at least repeatedly chews a number of content emphasized by Mr. Bjarne.
"Effective C ", "More Effective C "
Yes, as some C enthusiasts often read or read the above two works to distinguish whether you are C masters. We also strongly recommend these two books. In various books in various introductions C expert experience, these two are the closest language nature, and they can have a book that will be replaced by the bones. You need to be born every day.
Technical books are benevolent, too many comments have no significant meaning, and readers prefer to choose the book for yourself as the best.
Resource website
As we can understand the development of computer history through computer history, the website of C -related figures can also make us get the most valuable reference and reference, the following people we think that there is no introduction, only because of the following characters The status of the C field is well known. We only carry out relevant resources for readers to learn, they work in Bell Lab, some work in well-known compiler manufacturers, some are constantly promoting the standardization of language, some for readers Write a number of thousands of people ...

C / C News Group:
You may wish to ask questions from here and answer questions, a lot of good Q & A resources ...
This is simple, if you are a rookie like me like me.
.comp.lang.c . moderated, this obvious level is high
.comp.std.c If you need to discuss standard C related topics
Have to write end language
At the end, it is also a summary status and look forward to the future. Although C starts from a rebatula to C, all the way is hard to come, but in any way, the status of the industrial basis has been obtained. A large number of related resources listed in the article is the best proof, while the industry's large number of product codes written in C and a large number of C professional engineers are the most direct proof. At the same time, we can see that there is a C program in various colleges and universities, and the learning discussion of C has never stopped on the Internet. However, under the besieging of the two major business development platforms of Java and .Net, it is increasingly "no".
C in the development of the company's software development, there are many ways to develop convenience than Java and C #, one of the problems is complicated in the C language itself, the learning curve is steep, and another problem is C standardization time too long. Lost a lot of growth, spending a lot of effort to fight between vendors, and C standard library is still lacking too much about too much content, each third party library and framework It is not possible to compare with the framework provided by consistency and integrity. Is C really want to withdraw from the historical stage? From C 's current activity, and the application status is completely affirm that C is still the foundation of the software industry, and it will not withdraw from the historical stage. From Boost, Loki, we can also see that C is very active, which is very radical for new technologies, and C is still widely received. From the application of ACE in high performance communication, the library of MTL is in the field of numerical calculations, we can see an irreplaceable role of C in high-performance applications, and memory restrictions such as embedded systems Platform, such as Symbian OS, C has played and will play a greater role. It is foreseeable that the subsequent software is from the application of the upper layer, and its undercurrent core is written by system-level software such as C / C , such as Java Virtual Machine, .NET FRAMWORK. Because there is only such system-level software to exert the function of the machine.
It is necessary to see two trends, a trend is C more complex, more academic, through template, etc. The more and more delicate libraries become a modern C hotspot, although in the use library to achieve new The programming paradigm, and even the design model, etc., it has also been aware of some tools that can be easily developed, but more is to make C more powerful, more complicated, and more difficult, it seems to be more college I have to say that it is developing marginalized roads. Another trend is that C has gradually exited in mainstream enterprise application development. The enterprise software development such as ERP will not consider C , unless you need to consider integration of legacy code. C is resolved to the system level language, which has become the foundation of the software industry is the general trend. However, reflecting, is it really defried? Since STL appeared, countless people started to support C , they used "I saw late night disappeared, the target software project appeared. I saw the maintenance code." Yes, STL is doing maintainability Such excellent. But what? STL is a road to modern software engineering, and this site is not alone in C in the field application software development field, and many programming languages do very well, and crazy supporters will not hesitate to say we. C should be supported because it is the best language in the world. And frankly, your waist is really hard? Maybe just escape some facts. C is excellent, this is undeniable that STL's emergence makes C once joined the most brilliant moment, but now it seems ... I am once said that people who really approve the STL application very conservatively There is no more than 200 people in China, and may not join STL to make C to develop better in the direction of it should develop, and now, C should also look back to the holy place that really belongs to him ...
