Actually the standardization of C sparked huge debates in the early
90's. There were lots of minor changes and one big style change that
really polarised opinions. In traditional C you defined a functions
parameters like
int foo()
int a;
float b;
{ /* body here */ }
I started with c in the 1980s using Mix Power C under Microsoft DOS
3.5. It was a number of years before I finished up with GCC under
Linux. Power-C was the only version of c I worked with for several
years. The input parameters were always inside the function brackets in
that version, so it must have been ansi-c. I hadn't realised it was any
different from the K&R specs. Interesting!
