The C Bible (Kernighan and Ritchie)?


The C Programming Language
Brian W.Kernighan and Dennis M.Ritchie
Prentice-Hall Software Series
ISBN 0-13-110163-3
Copyright C 1978 by Bell Telephone Laboratories, Incorporated
[It's a fine description of the language and reference for

Steele does, and that's what compiler writers need. -John]
