title: What is C17 and what changes have been made to the language?
body: <p>As I was checking news about GCC 8, I <a href="https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&amp;px=GCC-C17-Support-Coming" rel="noreferrer">saw</a> that they added support for the 2017 version of the C language (not C++17, really C17). But I can't find any information about it on Internet.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Is it a new ISO version like C11, or just a codename used by the GCC team for some corrections in their compiler ?</strong></p>
