[edit] Obsolete

[edit] Removed

Old-style function declarations and definitions
Representations for signed integers other than two's complement
Permission that u/U-prefixed character constants and string literals may be not UTF-16/32
Mixed wide string literal concatenation
Support for calling realloc() with zero size (the behavior becomes undefined)
__alignof_is_defined and __alignas_is_defined
static_assert is not provided as a macro defined in <assert.h> (becomes a keyword)
thread_local is not provided as a macro defined in <threads.h> (becomes a keyword)

[edit] Deprecated

<stdnoreturn.h>
Old feature-test macros
- __STDC_IEC_559__
- __STDC_IEC_559_COMPLEX__
_Noreturn function specifier
_Noreturn attribute token
asctime()
ctime()
DECIMAL_DIG (use the appropriate type-specific macro (FLT_DECIMAL_DIG, etc) instead)
Definition of following numeric limit macros in <math.h> (they should be used via <float.h>)
__bool_true_false_are_defined

[edit] New language features

Decimal floating-point types (_Decimal32, _Decimal64, and _Decimal128)
Bit-precise integers (_BitInt)
Binary integer constants
u8 character constants
Type change of u8 string literals
Digit separator '
Empty initializer ={}
Attributes
- [[deprecated]]
- [[fallthrough]]
- [[maybe_unused]]
- [[nodiscard]]
- [[noreturn]]
- [[reproducible]]
- [[unsequenced]]
Unnamed parameters in function definitions
Identical cvr-qualifications for array types and their element types
Single-argument _Static_assert
static_assert becomes a keyword (may be a predefined macro for compatibility reasons)
thread_local becomes a keyword (may be a predefined macro for compatibility reasons)
Labels followed by declarations and }
nullptr constant and the associated nullptr_t type
true and false become keywords (may be predefined macros for compatibility reasons)
New preprocessor directives
Pragmas for rounding direction
- STDC FENV_ROUND
- STDC FENV_DEC_ROUND

[edit] Feature test macros for optional features

__STDC_IEC_60559_BFP__
- Indicates IEEE-754 binary floating-point arithmetic and required math functions are supported.
This macro supersedes __STDC_IEC_559__.
__STDC_IEC_60559_DFP__
- Indicates IEEE-754 decimal floating-point arithmetic and required math functions are supported.
__STDC_IEC_60559_COMPLEX__
- Indicates IEEE-754 complex arithmetic and required math functions are supported.
This macro supersedes __STDC_IEC_559_COMPLEX__.
