It is the actual corrigendum, not a draft. Note that these documents are not the same as the standard, though the versions just prior to the meetings that decide on a standard are usually very close to what is in the final standard. Even though the draft versions might be very close to the final ratified versions of the standards, some of this post's editors would strongly advise you to get a copy of the actual documents — especially if you're planning on quoting them as references.
Of course, starving students should go ahead and use the drafts if strapped for cash. The current draft of the standard is maintained as LaTeX sources on Github. These sources can be converted to HTML using cxxdraft-htmlgen. The following sites maintain HTML pages so generated:. So if you've tried to look up a particular function, been informed "This function is part of POSIX, not the C standard", and wondered why an operating system standard was mandating compiler features and language extensions Section 1.

But the last few times I needed a copy, I found a free one hosted at google. As for college students, I recall doing assignments in random computer labs where I didn't have my files handy.
