This document specifies the form and establishes the interpretation of programs written in the C programming language.It specifies:the representation of C programs;the syntax and constraints of the C language;the semantic rules for interpreting C programsthe representation of input data to be processed by C programs;the representation of output data produced by C programs;the restrictions and limits imposed by a conforming implementation of C.This document does not specify:the mechanism by which C programs are transformed for use by a data-processing system;the mechanism by which C programs are invoked for use by a data-processing system;the mechanism by which input data are transformed for use by a C program;the mechanism by which output data are transformed after being produced by a C program;the size or complexity of a program and its data that will exceed the capacity of any specific data-processing system or the capacity of a particular processor;all minimal requirements of a data-processing system that is capable of supporting a conforming implementation.
