Language standards

Throughout this book, when referring to conformance to the ANSI/ISO C standard, we will be referring to the 1989 standard, and will generally just say ‘C.’ Only if it is necessary to distinguish between Standard 1989 C and older, pre-Standard versions of C will we make the distinction. We do not reference C99 in this book.

As this book goes to press the ANSI/ISO C++ committee has long ago finished working on the first C++ standard, commonly known as C++98. We will use the term Standard C++ to refer to this standardized language. If we simply refer to C++, assume we mean «Standard C++.» The C++ standards committee continues to address issues important to the C++ community that will find expression in C++0x, a future C++ standard not likely to be available for many years.
