Editing C99 (section)

==Future work==
Since ratification of the 1999 C standard, the standards working group prepared technical reports specifying improved support for embedded processing, additional character data types ([[Unicode]] support), and library functions with improved [[bounds checking]].  Work continues on technical reports addressing decimal [[floating point]], additional mathematical [[special functions]], and additional [[dynamic memory allocation]] functions.  The C and C++ standards committees have been collaborating on specifications for [[Thread (computer programming)|threaded]] programming.

The next revision of the C standard, [[C11 (C standard revision)|C11]], was ratified in 2011.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Standards.html |title=Standards - Using the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) |publisher=Gcc.gnu.org |access-date=2014-04-08}}</ref> The C standards committee adopted guidelines that limited the adoption of new features that have not been tested by existing implementations.  Much effort went into developing a [[memory model (programming)|memory model]], in order to clarify [[sequence point]]s and to support [[Thread (computer programming)|threaded]] programming.
