C Programming Language

Agent skill
1 skill

Applies Kernighan & Ritchie's "The C Programming Language" (2nd Edition, ANSI C) framework — pointer/array duality and pointer arithmetic, reading declarations by the right-left rule, manual memory management and ownership, undefined behavior, the preprocessor and separate compilation, storage classes/linkage, and C's "trust the programmer" minimalism — to writing, reviewing, or debugging C code. Use whenever the user wants a "K&R approach," mentions "pointer arithmetic," "declaration reflects use," "malloc/free," "undefined behavior," "storage class," "header guards," or is writing/debugging C, tracking down a segfault, buffer overflow, or memory leak, or asking how a gnarly C declaration should be read — even if they don't name the book.
