At least ISO C is not an exact specification, since there are two ISO C
standards and several additions.
The original C standard was an ANSI C standard. The standard was later moved
to the ISO to make it an international standard, since this time, the american
ANSI standard contains just a reference to the corresponding ISO standard.
This C standard was called C90 (because of the year). One or two minor
additions/clarifications were added ("Technical Corrigendum") but these did
not introduce new features.
Since 1999 there is a new C standard (C99 in short). It adds a lot of new
features like
* new comments
* changed initializations
* complex numbers
* long long integers (at least 64 bit in size)
* wide chars
* ...
I you're really interested in this standard: it can be downloaded as a PDF
from www.ansi.org for about USD 10.
cc65 will probably never adhere fully to this standard, since I cannot think
of any reason for features like 64 bit integers on a 6502 machine.
