To get a few obvious things out of the way:
I am aware that C++ and C do not have official docs due to how the standard ISO specifications are written, etc.
However, I am wondering how gcc/C developers (specifically non-C++ devs) find docs for their C specification/compiler, without pollution of information relating to C++ implementation details?
It is my understanding that they are sometimes sufficiently divergent to cause issues. (Though, maybe cppreference
is a safe enough bet?) I know Cppreference has a section for C
, but searching the site yields content for all versions.
What are you doing, to find docs related to C, that are useful and pertinent? I want to read class/method implementations but I am having a hard time finding docs for specifically "C" code.
Doing things like googling site:stackoverflow.com "C" -C++
comes to mind.
Is this an imagined issue? Do you use cppreference and deal with issues as they arise?
