Push the limits of what C - and you - can do, with this high-intensity guide to the most advanced capabilities of CKey Features* Make the most of C’s low-level control, flexibility, and high performance* A comprehensive guide to C’s most powerful and challenging features* A thought-provoking guide packed with hands-on exercises and examplesBook DescriptionThere’s a lot more to C than knowing the language syntax. The industry looks for developers with a rigorous, scientific understanding of the principles and practices. Extreme C will teach you to use C’s advanced low-level power to write effective, efficient systems. This intensive, practical guide will help you become an expert C programmer.Building on your existing C knowledge, you will master preprocessor directives, macros, conditional compilation, pointers, and much more. You will gain new insight into algorithm design, functions, and structures. You will discover how C helps you squeeze maximum performance out of critical, resource-constrained applications.C still plays a critical role in 21st-century programming, remaining the core language for precision engineering, aviations, space research, and more. This book shows how C works with Unix, how to implement OO principles in C, and fully covers multi-processing.In Extreme C, Amini encourages you to think, question, apply, and experiment for yourself. The book is essential for anybody who wants to take their C to the next level.What you will learn* Build advanced C knowledge on strong foundations, rooted in first principles* Understand memory structures and compilation pipeline and how they work, and how to make most out of them* Apply object-oriented design principles to your procedural C code* Write low-level code that’s close to the hardware and squeezes maximum performance out of a computer system* Master concurrency, multithreading, multi-processing, and integration with other languages* Unit Testing and debugging, build systems, and inter-process communication for C programmingWho this book is forExtreme C is for C programmers who want to dig deep into the language and its capabilities. It will help you make the most of the low-level control C gives you.

Review - The book is a classic--it is almost an insult to review it. This second edition will, probably and rightly, be urged on today's research students by their predecessors, now their supervisors, who derived so much from the first edition. As the author says, 30 years ago the book would take the aspiring researcher to the forefront. Now, with the huge development over thes...(展开全部)
