Hi Freaks ..
As i see so many generic questions about pointers , arrays and other C related stuff. I think we should have a little place for some LEGAL ONLINE C tools and or references.
If this is going to be usefull , then this post should NOT end up being hundreds of pages long. So plese do not use it as your own private remote/backup of your favorite links. But if its generic and helpfull to most other C users , and maybe especially the learners then post a link to it.
Please describe what the link is pointing at/to , and do a skills classification.
I will start out with the obious GCC links (not classified) , and then some links to some online books/docs that i think would be helpfull to other users here.
Hope you will contribute , for the benefit to us all .....
/Bingo

Building the AVR Toolchain
http://www.nongnu.org/avr-libc/user-man ... tools.html
I did follow the above "Recipe" , and made it. You can read about my problems/solutions etc. here
http://www.avrfreaks.net/index.php?name ... mp;t=25754
Note: If you want support for the latest processors (Applies to all builds)
You need to apply a patch to the binutils.
As EW wrote:

Building the AVR Toolchain under Linux
A. J. Erasmus made this homepage
http://home.telkomsa.net/antera/
With a "Recipe" for building a "WinAVR" compatible toolchain under linux (Untested by me)
Do start with the Readme
I did update the above buildscripts in this thread
http://www.avrfreaks.net/index.php?name ... mp;t=42631
Building the AVR Toolchain under MacOS X (10.1 or later recommended)
First you must install the developer tools from the Apple CD, which came with OS X, or can be downloaded from the Apple website for free.
Have a look here :
http://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/~mseeman/r ... micro.html
and maybe here (german) , but commands are linux (english)
http://www.mikrocontroller.net/forum/read-2-153385.html
Lately there is a "Local thread" , and i even think an academy project about MAC avr-gcc

Category: Generic Standard C
Level: All except learning C
The actual ANSI C Reference can be purchased at:
http://webstore.ansi.org/ansidocstore/p ... 899%2D1999
If the link stops working it is document number INCITS/ISO/IEC 9899-1999. It costs $18, but is well worth it.
You would have trouble learning C from this document, but it is an extreamly good reference for writing/understanding other C programs I have found. Not for someone who needs something to learn the C language from, but great for someone who has another C book to go with this document (even if they are learning the C language).
I have attached the index of the file for reference. |

I think www.avrbeginners.net should be mentioned here. Though I don't like it, I'll now "officially" advertise our website for the very first time. Many people ran across it and everybody understood what they had read. I think it's become a really good starting point for beginners.

You can now get a great AVR microcontroller development board and C compiler for an unprecedented low cost. ATMEL’s Butterfly Evaluation Board is $19.99 at Digi-Key.com and the WinAVR C compiler is free. This combination replaces hardware and software that until recently would costs hundreds of dollars just for an entry level system. Now you can join the AVR club for pocket change.
To help you get started, download the free ‘Quick Start Guide for Using WinAVR Compiler and ATMEL’s AVR Butterfly’, a 30-page tutorial in .pdf format, from http://www.smileymicros.com.
This tutorial is an extract of the first two chapters of the book: ' C Programming for Microcontrollers Featuring ATMEL's Butterfly and the WinAVR Compiler' also available on the SmileyMicros website. |

I'd recommend http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~lcc-win32/
Even if you have no intention of using the compiler, it's C-Tutorial is among the best I have ever read. It's an ANSI C implementation so learning to program in this is essentially learning to program using anything else. The tutorial is concise, easy to read and not too wordy. The PDF file is organized very well including plenty of code examples. Best of all, the compiler, the tutorial and even a healthy dose of extra goodies (Explanations on how to use a lot of Windows API's) are all available completley free of cost unless you're writing something for comercial use (in which case there are licensing feeds) I would recommend it to anyone with an interest in C programming, if for nothing other than a very good refrence. |

Also a good reference as I think is http://www.cplusplus.com/
Under reference you can find all standard libraries plus description.

Hi, I found some books
Quote:
Gracia Teleoperation Tutorial
This tutorial discusses a C++ program running on a host computer that uses the Garcia API to communicate with a Garcia robot. The program takes user input from a joystick or gamepad and converts it to motion commands that are sent across the serial link.
Pointers, References and Values New
Provides information about Passing Parameters, Returning Results, and Storing Member Variables with Musings on Good C++ Style.

Contains C++ tutorials, as well as Denthor of Asphyxia's graphics tutorials converted to C++, several programming articles, and a new series on the Standard Template Library.
Roby's C/C++ Tutorial
Covers basic structure, constants, loops, functions, arrays, structs, unions, string manipulation, enumerated types, work in multiple modules, making header files, memory types, text, types, and untyped files.
Basic Input and Output with C++
In this lesson we will focus on using the keyboard as our input device and the monitor as our output device.
comp.lang.c FAQ list Table of Contents
This article is a table of contents for the comp.lang.c frequently-asked questions (FAQ) list, listing the questions which the abridged and full versions of the FAQ list answer.
All About: File I/O in C++

Found a reference to this at Yahoo group AVR-Chat.
Hackers Delight, ISBN: 0201914654.
What may be the ultimate reference for manipulating and isolating bits and bytes with C or asm. Authors website and review from IBM Systems Journal, http://www.hackersdelight.org/.

This one changed my programming life. I own maybe 6 of the books that are listed above and have been through a lot of tutorials and I have never been able to grok C but now at least I know why I have not been able to understand some of C's problems. One of the reasons? C is written for people who write compilers not for people who write programs. If you know a little about C and you would like the next project to go smoother, then this is for you.
"Expert C Programming, Deep C Secrets"
Peter Van Der Linden
ISBN 0-13-177429-8
It also helps that the author is good writer and has a very approachable style. I have not seen this material in any other book. |

An old but rather good C FAQ:
Table of Contents
Actual FAQ
Contains over a hundred different C questions and answers, pretty much all of it relevant in some way to AVR development with C (although the FAQ focuses on no particular platform or compiler).
