Back in 1988, DDJ published Stewart Nutter's article on a technique for automatically documenting C programs. In this article, Ron updates Stewart's program in order to maintain more than 117,000 lines of C source code. Not to be outdone, Kevin Poole updates Ron's program for use with VAX VMS and UNIX.

List management gives you a convenient way of creating randomly accessible linked lists with low-staorage overhead. Bob presents a general list management system that will compile and run under operating systems such as MS-DOS and UNIX system V.
by Bob Edgar
To make the job of program testing and debugging less frustrating, Bob shows how you can extend the "assert()" macro so that it becomes a practical debugging tool.
by Paul Anderson
C's run-time management routines don't always do the job, particularly when it comes to error checking. Paul discusses how customized memory allocators can be used to overcome this problem.
by David Carew
In the mid-1980's, David wasn't particularly pleased with C, as expressed in a DDJ Viewpoint column entitles "What's Wrong With C." After all these years, we asked David if he'd changed his mind and here's what he had to say.
