Translation (G.3.1)
The numbers in parantheses correspond to section numbers in the ISO/IEC 9899:1990 standard.
(5.1.1.3) Identification of diagnostics:
Error messages have the following format:
filename, line line number: message
Warning messages have the following format:
filename, line line number: warning message
Where:
-
filename is the name of the file containing the error or warning
-
line number is the number of the line on which the error or warning is found
-
message is the diagnostic message
Environment (G.3.2)
(5.1.2.2.1) Semantics of arguments to main:
int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
....
}
argc is the number of command-line arguments with which the program is invoked with. After any shell expansion, argc is always equal to at least 1, the name of the program.
argv is an array of pointers to the command-line arguments.
(5.1.2.3) What constitutes an interactive device:
An interactive device is one for which the system library call isatty() returns a nonzero value.
Identifiers (G.3.3)
(6.1.2) The number of significant initial characters (beyond 31) in an identifier without external linkage:
The first 1,023 characters are significant. Identifiers are case-sensitive.

There are no shift states.
(5.2.4.2.1)The number of bits in a character in the execution character set:
There are 8 bits in a character for the ASCII portion; locale-specific multiple of 8 bits for locale-specific extended portion.
(6.1.3.4)The mapping of members of the source character set (in character and string literals) to members of the execution character set:
Mapping is identical between source and execution characters.
(6.1.3.4)The value of an integer character constant that contains a character or escape sequence not represented in the basic execution character set or the extended character set for a wide character constant:
It is the numerical value of the rightmost character. For example, '\q' equals 'q'. A warning is emitted if such an escape sequence occurs.
(3.1.3.4)The value of an integer character constant that contains more than one character or a wide character constant that contains more than one multibyte character:
A multiple-character constant that is not an escape sequence has a value derived from the numeric values of each character.
(6.1.3.4)The current locale used to convert multibyte characters into corresponding wide characters (codes) for a wide character constant:
The valid locale specified by LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE, or LANG environment variable.

Table B-1 Representations and Sets of Values of Integers
(6.2.1.2)The result of converting an integer to a shorter signed integer, or the result of converting an unsigned integer to a signed integer of equal length, if the value cannot be represented:
When an integer is converted to a shorter signed integer, the low order bits are copied from the longer integer to the shorter signed integer. The result may be negative.
When an unsigned integer is converted to a signed integer of equal size, the low order bits are copied from the unsigned integer to the signed integer. The result may be negative.
(6.3)The results of bitwise operations on signed integers:
The result of a bitwise operation applied to a signed type is the bitwise operation of the operands, including the sign bit. Thus, each bit in the result is set if--and only if--each of the corresponding bits in both of the operands is set.
(6.3.5)The sign of the remainder on integer division:
The result is the same sign as the dividend; thus, the remainder of -23/4 is -3.
(6.3.7)The result of a right shift of a negative-valued signed integral type:
The result of a right shift is a signed right shift.

Registers(G.3.8)
(6.5.1)The extent to which objects can actually be placed in registers by use of the register storage-class specifier:
The number of effective register declarations depends on patterns of use and definition within each function and is bounded by the number of registers available for allocation. Neither the compiler nor the optimizer is required to honor register declarations.
Structures, Unions, Enumerations, and Bit-Fields(G.3.9)
(6.3.2.3)A member of a union object is accessed using a member of a different type:
The bit pattern stored in the union member is accessed, and the value interpreted, according to the type of the member by which it is accessed.
(6.5.2.1)The padding and alignment of members of structures.
Table B-5 Padding and Alignment of Structure Members
Structure members are padded internally, so that every element is aligned on the appropriate boundary.
Alignment of structures is the same as its more strictly aligned member. For example, a struct with only chars has no alignment restrictions, whereas a struct containing a double would be aligned on an 8-byte boundary.
(6.5.2.1)Whether a plain int bit-field is treated as a signed int bit-field or as an unsigned int bit-field:
It is treated as an unsigned int.
(6.5.2.1)The order of allocation of bit-fields within an int:
Bit-fields are allocated within a storage unit from high-order to low-order.
(6.5.2.1)Whether a bit-field can straddle a storage-unit boundary:
Bit-fields do not straddle storage-unit boundaries.
(6.5.2.2)The integer type chosen to represent the values of an enumeration type:
This is an int.

No limit is imposed by the compiler.
Preprocessing Directives(G.3.13)
(6.8.1)Whether the value of a single-character character constant in a constant expression that controls conditional inclusion matches the value of the same character constant in the execution character set:
A character constant within a preprocessing directive has the same numeric value as it has within any other expression.
(6.8.1)Whether such a character constant may have a negative value:
Character constants in this context may have negative values (SPARC) (Intel) .
(6.8.2)The method for locating includable source files:
A file whose name is delimited by < > is searched for first in the directories named by the -I option, and then in the standard directory. The standard directory is /usr/include, unless the -YI option is used to specify a different default location.
A file whose name is delimited by quotes is searched for first in the directory of the source file that contains the #include, then in directories named by the -I option, and last in the standard directory.
If a file name enclosed in < > or double quotes begins with a / character, the file name is interpreted as a path name beginning in the root directory. The search for this file begins in the root directory only.
(6.8.2)The support of quoted names for includable source files:
Quoted file names in include directives are supported.
(6.8.2)The mapping of source file character sequences:
Source file characters are mapped to their corresponding ASCII values.

NULL equals 0.
(7.2)The diagnostic printed by and the termination behavior of the assert function:
The diagnostic is:

(7.7.1.1) The default handling and the handling at program startup for each signal recognized by the signal function:
See above.
(7.7.1.1) If the equivalent of signal(sig, SIG_DFL); is not executed prior to the call of a signal handler, the blocking of the signal that is performed:
The equivalent of signal(sig,SIG_DFL) is always executed.
(7.7.1.1) Whether the default handling is reset if the SIGILL signal is received by a handler specified to the signal function:
Default handling is not reset in SIGILL.
(7.9.2) Whether the last line of a text stream requires a terminating new-line character:
The last line does not need to end in a newline.
(7.9.2) Whether space characters that are written out to a text stream immediately before a new-line character appear when read in:
All characters appear when the stream is read.
(7.9.2) The number of null characters that may be appended to data written to a binary stream:
No null characters are appended to a binary stream.
(7.9.3) Whether the file position indicator of an append mode stream is initially positioned at the beginning or end of the file:
The file position indicator is initially positioned at the end of the file.
(7.9.3) Whether a write on a text stream causes the associated file to be truncated beyond that point:
A write on a text stream does not cause a file to be truncated beyond that point unless a hardware device forces it to happen.
(7.9.3) The characteristics of file buffering:
Output streams, with the exception of the standard error stream (stderr), are by default-buffered if the output refers to a file, and line-buffered if the output refers to a terminal. The standard error output stream (stderr) is by default unbuffered.
A buffered output stream saves many characters, and then writes the characters as a block. An unbuffered output stream queues information for immediate writing on the destination file or terminal immediately. Line-buffered output queues each line of output until the line is complete (a newline character is requested).
(7.9.3) Whether a zero-length file actually exists:
A zero-length file does exist since it has a directory entry.
(7.9.3) The rules for composing valid file names:
A valid file name can be from 1 to 1,023 characters in length and can use all character except the characters null and / (slash).
(7.9.3) Whether the same file can be open multiple times:
The same file can be opened multiple times.
(7.9.4.1) The effect of the remove function on an open file:
The file is deleted on the last call which closes the file. A program cannot open a file which has already been removed.
(7.9.4.2) The effect if a file with the new name exists prior to a call to the rename function:
If the file exists, it is removed and the new file is written over the previously existing file.
(7.9.6.1) The output for %p conversion in the fprintf function:
The output for %p is equivalent to %x.
(7.9.6.2) The input for %p conversion in the fscanf function:
The input for %p is equivalent to %x.
(7.9.6.2) The interpretation of a - character that is neither the first nor the last character in the scan list for %[ conversion in the fscanf function:
The - character indicates an inclusive range; thus, [0-9] is equivalent to [0123456789].
Locale-Specific Behavior(G.4)
(7.12.1) The local time zone and Daylight Savings Time:
The local time zone is set by the environment variable TZ.
(7.12.2.1) The era for the clock function
The era for the clock is represented as clock ticks with the origin at the beginning of the execution of the program.
The following characteristics of a hosted environment are locale-specific:
(5.2.1) The content of the execution character set, in addition to the required members:
Locale-specific (no extension in C locale).
(5.2.2) The direction of printing:
Printing is always left to right.
(7.1.1) The decimal-point character:
Locale-specific ("." in C locale).
(7.3) The implementation-defined aspects of character testing and case mapping functions:
Same as 4.3.1.
(7.11.4.4) The collation sequence of the execution character set:
Locale-specific (ASCII collation in C locale).
