Description

A complete listing (still in progress) of objects, macros, functions, types and keywords defined by the standard library, suitable for input into a script.

Members of each list line are separated by whitespace. Each item is dual-listed. The first list is ordered alphabetically (case-insensitive, ignoring non-alphanumeric characters) based on the identifiers themselves. The second list is first ordered alphabetically by standard header (listing an item only once - by its alphabetically first header - even when declared/defined in multiple headers) and then ordered as for the first list.

Column descriptions

• Identifier: case-sensitive including underscores
• Defined-by: a comma-separated alphabetically ordered list of standard headers without whitespace, or "compiler".
• Metatype uses one of:
  • keyword: e.g. int, char, if, while
  • type: types defined by the standard library
  • filescope-variable: possibly there's no such creature in the Standard that doesn't better fit "macro/lvalue"
  • macro-expr: a macro that expands to an object that is not necessarily writable e.g. stdin
  • macro-const: a macro that expands to a constant expression e.g. NULL, INT_MAX
  • macro/lvalue: can be either a global variable or a macro that expands to an lvalue e.g. errno
  • macro-function: a function-like macro e.g. INT8_C
  • function: a function not allowed to be implemented as a macro e.g.
  • macro/function: a function that could also be implemented as a macro e.g.
• C89, C94 and C90 use these symbols:
  • @ => the identifier occurs in this version of the Standard
  • ! => the identifier does not occur in this version of the Standard
  • ? => the person contributing this listing did not know or check whether the identifier occurs in this version of the Standard
• Diff89-94 and Diff94-99 use these symbols to indicate how the specifying wording and semantics for this identifier vary between the versions of the Standard indicated by the column name:
  • = => wording and semantics identical
  • ~ => wording not identical but semantics are
  • ! => different wording and semantics
  • ? => differences unknown or not yet checked (also used when the identifier's occurrence in either version is unknown)
  • [empty] => no comparison since the identifier is known to not occur in one or both versions

Groupings

This grouping list contains on each line a comma-separated list of identifiers that would be suitable for a single combination article. All identifiers should have the same Defined-by entry above. The first entry in each row is the "primary" article; if it is a new title (i.e. not an existing identifier) it should be preceded by an asterisk without intervening whitespace and spaces in the title should be replaced by underscores.
