Answer 2

You can refer GNU C documentation at https://www.gnu.org/software/gnu-c-manual/gnu-c-manual.html

Specifically, this manual aims to document:

1. The 1989 ANSI C standard, commonly known as “C89”
2. The 1999 ISO C standard, commonly known as “C99”, to the extent that C99 is implemented by GCC
3. The current state of GNU extensions to standard C

Answer 3

Strictly speaking, the C standard is not available for free. You need to purchase an electronic copy from http://www.ansi.org/ or http://www.iso.org.

However, you can download a free draft version from the Open Standards Organization's website - this is as good as or better than the official standard itself. It incorporates information from the ISO C99 standard plus three Technical Corrigenda, all of which are official ISO documents.
