The ANSI C standard isn't freely available, you have to buy it from them. Though there are references online, use Google and search for example for "ansi c c99".

I mainly use MSVC++ 6, but I also use Borland C++ on occasion.

The ISO standard can be purchased for about $130 from ww.ansi.org. If you look really hard you can find it illegally on the net, but I don't recommend that. For a little quick reference, here is a link to the C Rationale. Be sure to take note of the warnings because this is NOT a replacement for the full standard.

My best code is written with the delete key.
That's true if you want the paper version. The digital (PDF) version is available from the ANSI Electronic Standards Store for a meagre $18...Originally posted by Prelude

There is also a draft around... n869.txt or similar which is freely available (somewhere). There are some differences in wording but IIRC nothing significant has changed between the draft and the standard.
That would be

Does any one know if the C++ standard is available for download
C++ Standard?
I dont even think the C standard is Free...
if you mean compiler then sure, there are a lot that are free.
Check with ANSI
but C++ belongs to MS so if you want their standards try

some C standards I have on my C Refrence Card
Asking the right question is sometimes more important than knowing the answer.
Please read the FAQ
C Reference Card (A MUST!)
Pointers and Memory
The Essentials
CString lib
As far as I know, also the C++ standard is not free available for download.
>but C++ belongs to MS
That is incorrect, C++ is not owned by MS. Neither is C owned by a company.
>but C++ belongs to MS
But C# does belong to M$
Shame that there are a few errors in the C reference card.Originally posted by Lynux-Penguin
some C standards I have on my C Refrence CardNot bad, but a few elementary mistakes. (Case in point: C does not define the sizes of integer types as exact numbers of bits as is stated/implied on the card).
Useful, but be wary. The Standard Is Always Right (TM).
