"Masterpiece"?! Adequate, at best, with a number of gaps & ambiguities.
Look at Jensen & Wirth's _Pascal User Manual & Report_ (IIRC) for one
much better example of a language reference + manual. As I've
mentioned before, Bolsky's _The C Programmer's HandBook_ is a much
better reference, though not intended as a manual.
You sure are on touchy ground. Most C programmers that I know consider
"The C Programming Language" by two of the three inventors of C to be a
C bible. What gaps & ambiguities do you speak of?
