Haven't tried it myself, but on comp.lang.c.moderated they are always calling him "Shit" and generally degrading the guy. So I was discouraged from doing so. ;-) K&R is a very concise if occasionally not-so-thorough reference. C is a fairly small and simple language. > Is there any compiler-specific documentation (esp wrt to graphics and > low-level hardware/system stuff)? > There is documentation on gcc/egcs, yes, 'info gcc' should pull it up. Graphics and hardware would mostly be a kernel or X issue, not the compiler. You could look at the kernel console code and some X server code, and the specs for the hardware you want to program.
