What are the main C / C++ specifications
Many post refer to *C89*, *C99*, etc. I was surprised to see that there were no wiki repository for the C/C++ programmer to follow and learn about them at SO.

I'd invite everyone to build, then edit, one big post with the dates/sites links, summary of differences to previous spec, etc. It would be excellent to have a list of compilers and the standard it follows, with notable exceptions, if any.

If you feel the question could be ampler/broader, and include platforms, I think that deserves another wiki post (but I'm not doing that one), as this is already non-programming in a code-listing sense, and I hate poll-Qs on SO (unless featuring humour, w/ or wo/ John Skeet).
