| | Dennis Ritchie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Dennis MacAlistair Ritchie (born September 9, 1941) is a computer scientist notable for his influence on ALTRAN, B, BCPL, C, Multics, and Unix. | | | Dennis has also contributed to the two official successors of Unix and C: the Plan 9 operating system and the Limbo programming language, both of which build upon his previous work. | | | Indeed, being the inventor of the C programming language, as well as co-inventor of the Unix operating system alongside Ken Thompson, Ritchie has earned an important position in the history of the computer industry. |

Ritchie is head of the System Software Research department in the Computing Science Research Center of Bell Labs/Lucent Technologies in Murray Hill, NJ. | | | Dennis: I haven't actually used it for real--in the sense of depending on it for my own day-to-day computing--, I am afraid to admit. |

| | Dennis M. Ritchie heads the system software research department at Bell Laboratories's Computing Science Research Center. | | | Dennis Ritchie: I really don't know the answer to this, except to observe that software is much harder to change en masse than hardware. | | | Dennis Ritchie: This is a question about which Brian [Kernighan] and I have thought hard and long, with considerable advice and assistance via email, Usenet, visits from our publisher, and interviews like this one. |

| | Dennis M. Ritchie is a researcher in the Convergence, Software, and Computer Science Laboratory of Bell Labs / Lucent Technologies in Murray Hill, NJ. | | | Before that, he was in the now-dissolved Computing Sciences Research Center, serving for several years as head of its Systems Sciences Research department. | | | My graduate school experience convinced me that I was not smart enough to be an expert in the theory of algorithms and also that I liked procedural languages better than functional ones. |

| | Interview with Dennis Ritchie, Bjarne Stroustrup, James Gosling |
| | Ritchie: The point of C (as distinct from its immediate predecessor B) was to take a language that was designed with word-oriented machines in mind and adapt it to the newer hardware that became available, specifically the PDP-11. | | | Ritchie: As in the above, the first on a real computer was the Univac I program. | | | Probably the oddest aspect of C compared with other languages outside its immediate family is the declaration syntax, in which (in a way coming from Fortran) a type is mentioned, then variables decorated in a way that reflects their use in expressions. |

| | Unix.se - Interview - Dennis Ritchie |
| | Dennis Ritchie: The single thing that I'm happiest about is that the notion of making the Unix system portable was mostly mine. | | | The first part was about analog computers, then a brief bit about punch-card equipment, then some about real digital computers, in which we prepared a program for the Univac I. I was an undergraduate Physics major, but began to intrigued more by both the theory and practice of computing. | | | And in the meantime Ken created the first computer chess master and pretty much rewrote the book on chess endgames. |

| | Dennis Ritchie aided Ken Thompson in creating the UNIX operating system. | | | The programmers were using the UNIX operating system on meager Digital Equipment Corporation PDP-11 computers with 24 KB of memory and a programming language called B, which was developed by Ken Thompson. | | | He claims he “was not smart enough to be an expert in the theory algorithms and also liked procedural languages better than functional ones.” Also at that time computers were considered to be “quite neat” and Ritchie agreed. |

| | Current status: Dennis Ritchie is currently the head of Lucent Technology's System Software Research Department, while Ken Thompson has retired from both Bell Labs and the hacker spotlight. | | | Little-known fact: Although Ritchie is the author of the popular C programming language, his favorite language is Alef. | | | An elegant, open operating system for minicomputers, UNIX helped users with general computing, word processing and networking, and soon became a standard language. |

| | Also in 1969, the system that Brian Kernighan would later name Unix was being developed by Ken Thompson "with some assistance from" Dennis Ritchie. | | | Although it has lost little of its didactic value, it describes a language that C compilers today do no longer understand: the C of 1974, four years before Kernighan and Ritchie published the first edition of ``The C Programming Language''. | | | The vast majority of the language defined by the Standard is precisely the same as is defined in Appendix A of The C Programming Language by Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie, and as is implemented in almost all C translators. |

| | C calling conventions for main() (Dennis Ritchie) |
| | Date: Tue, 15 Oct 1996 02:47:13 GMT Some of the history: Through Unix Sixth Edition (1975) argv[argc] was filled in with the value -1, in part to help detect accesses through it, and thus to encourage use of argc instead of depending on a sentinel in argv. | | | Being a bit more definite here would have simplified questions about what happens when main is called recursively and similar details that sometimes trip people up. | | | Newsgroups: comp.lang.c From: dmr@research.bell-labs.com (Dennis Ritchie <7549-15328> 0112710) Subject: Re: Hey! |
