- Well, someone already pointed out Harbison and Steele (be sure to get
- the 3rd edition), but be sure to get
-
- Andrew Koenig: C Traps and Pitfalls, Addison-Wesley, 1989,
- ISBN 0-201-17928-8
-
- It's a real gem. Brief and to the point, a delight to read, with lots
- of good points on how to use C effectively, on programming style, and
- on programming in general.
-
- Also
-
- P. J. Plauger: The Standard C Library, Prentice-Hall. 1991,
- ISBN 13-131509-9
-
- is worth some serious consideration.
