Question

Is there any compilation of C terminology available on net ? I feel it many times difficult to explain in exact technical terms what I wish to say.

"Terminology" as in "syntax", or "terminology" as in "concepts"? The answer to both is "yes", but the latter you'd get more from beginner's books than random internet sources. — Makoto, Sep 01 '12 at 17:49
This question is inappropriate for StackOverflow. This is not a replacement for a search engine (Google and Bing are both very good at doing that work), nor is it a site to collect links. Voting to close as "not constructive". The [FAQ](http://stackoverflow.com/faq) has more info on the types of questions that fit the design of this site. Keeping questions within site guidelines helps reduce noise and clutter and helps SO remain a useful programming resource. — Ken White, Sep 01 '12 at 17:56
@KenWhite I think it's a very useful question for people who want to develop some good amount of understanding in C. What can a person search if he/she does not know how to call it ? I have been trying to learn C from past one year and only now I realize that knowledge of terminology plays a great role in your understanding of some intricate concepts. — bubble, Sep 01 '12 at 17:58
No. It's a requestion for a list of links to off-site locations, which is not what SO is designed to do. — Ken White, Sep 01 '12 at 18:00
@KenWhite I think this compilation will be very helpful for the people at last. I leave it upon members to decide. — bubble, Sep 01 '12 at 18:03

There really is no substitute for the C Language Standard. The real deal from ISO is pretty expensive, but you can see a late draft at

The rationale can also be helpful.

and your draft C1X is not the latest one, there is a draft from April 2011, n1570: http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n1570.pdf – ouah Sep 01 '12 at 18:21
