This is a reference manual for the C programming language as implemented by the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC). Specifically, this manual aims to document: The 1989 ANSI C standard, commonly known as “C89” The 1999 ISO C standard, commonly known as “C99”, to the extent that C99 is implemented by GCC. The GNU C Library Reference Manual Sandra Loosemore with Richard M. Stallman, Roland McGrath, Andrew Oram, and Ulrich Drepper for version 2.30.
C Reference Manual Dennis M. Ritchie Bell Telephone Laboratories Murray Hill, New Jersey 07974 1. Introduction C is a computer language based on the earlier language B 1. The languages and their compilers differ in two major ways: C introduces the notion of types, and defines appropriate extra syntax and semantics; also, C on the. Feb 14, 2017 C# 7.2 added a number of small features. You can pass arguments by readonly reference using the in keyword. There are a number of low-level changes to support compile-time safety for Span and related types. You can use named arguments where later. The PDF Reference was first published when Adobe Acrobat was introduced in 1993. Since then, updated versions of the PDF Reference have been made available from Adobe via the Web, and from time to time, in traditional paper documents made available from book publishers. On January 29, 2007, Adobe.
-->This reference explains the C++ programming language as implemented in the Microsoft C++ compiler. The organization is based on The Annotated C++ Reference Manual by Margaret Ellis and Bjarne Stroustrup and on the ANSI/ISO C++ International Standard (ISO/IEC FDIS 14882). Microsoft-specific implementations of C++ language features are included.

C# Language Specification
The C# 6.0 language specification. This is a draft proposal for the C# 6.0 language. This document will be refined through work with the ECMA C# standards committee. Version 5.0 has been released in December 2017 as the Standard ECMA-334 5th Edition document.

The features that have been implemented in C# versions after 6.0 are represented in language specification proposals. These documents describe the deltas to the language spec in order to add these new features. These are in draft proposal form. These specifications will be refined and submitted to the ECMA standards committee for formal review and incorporation into a future version of the C# Standard.
C# 7.0 Specification Proposals
There are a number of new features implemented in C# 7.0. They include pattern matching, local functions, out variable declarations, throw expressions, binary literals, and digit separators. This folder contains the specifications for each of those features.

method that returns Task
or Task<int>
. This enables you to add the async
modifier to Main
. The default
expression can be used without a type in locations where the type can be inferred. Also, tuple member names can be inferred. Finally, pattern matching can be used with generics.C# 7.2 Specification Proposals

keyword. There are a number of low-level changes to support compile-time safety for Span
and related types. You can use named arguments where later arguments are positional, in some situations. The private protected
access modifier enables you to specify that callers are limited to derived types implemented in the same assembly. The ?:
operator can resolve to a reference to a variable. You can also format hexadecimal and binary numbers using a leading digit separator.C# 7.3 Specification Proposals

fixed
fields, including using stackalloc
allocations. Local variables declared with the ref
keyword may be reasssigned to refer to new storage. You can place attributes on auto-implemented properties that target the compiler-generated backing field. Expression variables can be used in initializers. Tuples can be compared for equality (or inequality). There have also been some improvements to overload resolution.C# 8.0 Specification Proposals
C# 8.0 is available with .NET Core 3.0. The features include nullable reference types, recursive pattern matching, default interface members, async streams, ranges and indexes, pattern based using and using declarations, null coalescing assignment, and readonly instance members.
