Has ANSI Approved ISO/IEC 9899:1999?

[jaysome]

It's been almost eight years since ISO/IEC approved ISO/IEC 9899:1999.

Does anyone know if ANSI has approved it?

A Google search shows arguably confusing answers as to whether ANSI
has approved it. For example, on this site:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_(prog...SI_C_and_ISO_C

it says that "It was adopted as an ANSI standard in March 2000."

But on this site (which appears in the signature of someone who posts
to this newsgroup somewhat regularly and someone who everyone should
deeply respect):

http://jk-technology.com/c/standards.html

it says that "This update to the C language standard has not been
approved by ANSI and is not an American National Standard at this
time". This site goes on to further say that "I will post more
information as it becomes available to me".

A search for terms that you would think would find a match for C99 on
ANSI's site shows no relevant results.

Has ISO/IEC 9899:1999 been approved by ANSI?

Best regards

Yes, it was approved by ANSI on 22nd May 2000.

Typical Wikipedia. Lesson 1: Never Trust Wikipedia To Get Stuff Right. It
does sometimes get stuff right, at least for a while, but it is not a
reliable information source. At best, it's a primer.

Well, I suppose, if Jack reads this thread, more information will become
available to him.

Did I miss something?

The front page of the standard. The ANSI approval date is in a nice big
box.

The point about wikipedia is: if you know better, just go ahead and fix the

....and then wait for your well-informed change to be reverted by an
ignoramus with more Wikipoints. No, thanks.

Been there, done that, had my changes backed out. Waste of time. Wiki is
ruled by the (relatively) clueless.
