There's nothing unclear with either the subject or the post.

As to how many standard functions there are, I'd suggest donwloading a
copy of the C99 draft (or buy the Standard proper) and grep it (or
count in some other way). OTH, there may be someone (close to the
Standards comitee?) who actually knows the answer already.

Repeatedly posting nonsense like this will not ensure that people read
your posts ... In fact, the exact opposite will happen.

Good suggestion!

If my greping went right, I make it 397 in the c99 std - that includes
macros too btw.

n869 isn't accurate for such a count. I know at least
one function -- _Exit, having run across it -- that was added between
n869 and final version of the standard. But it is presumably accurate
enough for your unstated purposes...

We could just call it a round 400 - might as well, if we're not counting
just functions.

Yes. Any pedant.

There are a countably infinite number of functions that any conforming
implementation can supply in accordance with the standards.
