This was asked recently, but I saw no answer in my (selective) reading of info-c. Anyone know: - to what address I write to order a copy of the current draft ANSI standard for C? - what is the exact amount of $$$ to send? Also, anyone know what the current state of the proposed standard is? How close is it to being "finished?" Who has something like a validation suite for ANSI C? How close to AT&T C is the draft standard? Is this going to be AT&T versus the world? Are there competing proposals, or is everyone going to agree on this one? -jns

Re: Ansi validation suite for C:
Many compiler vendors use Perennial's suite. It tests Kernighan and Ritchie's
C, but Perennial claims that updates to the draft standard will be available
as the standard evolves.

Caution: We found that several of the tests did not apply to our
architecture and timezone. Even so, it seems to be a good testbed. notes@hcx1.UUCP (08/12/86)
There was also a C validation suite advertised in the August 4 issue of Computerworld, but I don't remember the name of the company.
