C17, formally ISO/IEC 9899:2018, [1] is an open standard for the C programming language, prepared in 2017 and published 5-Jul-2018. [1] It replaced C11 (standard ISO/IEC 9899:2011), [2] and is superseded by C23 (ISO/IEC 9899:2024) since October 2024. [3] Since it was under development in 2017, and officially published in 2018, C17 is sometimes referred to as C18. [4]
C17 fixes numerous minor defects in C11 without introducing new language features. [2]
