One thing I've noticed over the years is that the majority of C coders out there, no matter how good they are, never really master the ability to composed and decompose complex declarations and references. I don't say this in a perjorative fashion, but I see it a lot and it's important to be able to distinguish between an array of pointers to integers and a pointer to an array of integers, i.e., int *foo[10]; int (*foo)[10]; Going through K&R is standard, but this is a basic complaint I've had for a long time. -- Time flies like the wind.
