Short description: C programming language standard, 2017 revision


C17 is the informal name for ISO/IEC 9899:2018,[1] the most recent standard for the C programming language, prepared in 2017 and published in June 2018. It replaced C11 (standard ISO/IEC 9899:2011),[2] and will be superseded by C23 (ISO/IEC 9899:2023) when it is published in 2024.[3] Since it was under development in 2017, and officially published in 2018, C17 is sometimes referred to as C18.[4]

Changes from C11

C17 fixes numerous minor defects in C11 without introducing new language features.[2]

The __STDC_VERSION__ macro is increased to the value 201710L.
