[[21st century c]] - unusually practical update on C

a sub-chapter on string processing in the new world
a sub-chapter on robust Macros in the new world
a sub-chapter on function to report errors in the new world
a full chapter on pointer in the new world
a full chapter on C api to be consumed by other languages like python
a full chapter on struct syntax improvement to support returning multiple values + status code
a sub-chapter on pthreads
a sub-chapter on [[numerical recipes in C]] and the implementation – the GNU scientific library
a sub-chapter on SQLite
briefly on valgrind
function returning 2 values + status code
many innovative macro tricks
innovative and concise explanation of auto(i.e. stack) vs static vs malloc memory

Note a sub-chapter is very short, in a concise book. A remarkably practical update on C, somewhat similar to [[safe c++]]. Content isn't theoretical, and not so relevant to interviews, but relevant to real projects and GTD
