[SystemSafety] Subversive C programs for mockery of static analysis tools ... on a bad day ; -)

[Olwen Morgan]

Since the most recent copyright date is 2009, presumably it deals with

So, when the next revision of the C standard is published (expected 2019 
?), the book will be around 20 years out of date?

Just asking.
