Hello C-goers,

Been using last C99 draft for a while now and want to purchase actual
C99 standard from ANSI. I know there are two technical corrigendum
documents standardized too, which are freely available. My question
is, if I buy the C99 standard right now, will the corrections from TC1
and TC2 already have been taken place on the document?

If not, does everyone find it difficult playing around with 3 documents
to get answers?

No.

Yes... so hopefully C05 will be a single document with both TC's rolled
into it.

The next version of the C standard.... 9899:2005 Which will hopefully
come out latter this year.

You can get it in book form with TC1 and the Rationale. (Wiley)

Since it is very unlikely you have a C99 compiler anyway, it probably
isn't that big of a deal.

With conforming compilers expected just after the rapture.

I doubt it.

Surely it's the conforming compilers which cause the rapture? O

Even after the new standard comes out, we're likely to see TCs
associated with it appear after that and (based on the C99) they won't
be rolled into the C05 document, which will continue to frustrate me.
