The Visual Studio C compiler (not the C++ compiler) supports "almost all" of C99, I would definitely recommend skipping C89, and use at least the new initialization features from C99 because they can reduce bugs caused by uninitialized data. Also, C++ compilers support a subset C99 that's somewhere around "C95" and is already a much friendlier version compared to C89. TBH, I think the best way to learn C is to tinker a bit with assembly first (it doesn't have to be a modern assembly dialect, just write a few 6502 or Z80 assembly programs in a home computer emulator). Coming from "below" instead of "above" C's abstraction level helps understanding the design rationale behind C, and the trade-offs between flexibility and unsafe memory handling. |
