I do not disagree with any point you made. Not at all.

I just think an introduction to the language in the year 2022 should at least aknowledge that the form of string handling shown in the first part of the book should not be imitated. I can see how those examples would make perfect sense in a different age. Maybe I can give the book the benefit of the doubt as it was published in 2012.

Do you have any book recommendations for a more modern C approach?

The 2nd Edition was published in 1988. I would guess that this this 2012 version just adds an extra foreword and some errata?

Ah that explains a lot thanks

"Modern C" by Jens Gustedt is an excellent book on a more modern approach to C.
