Rusty Russell shares advanced C programming tricks and techniques gathered from his work on CCAN, including typesafe callbacks and malloc failure testing.
Presenter(s): Rusty Russell URL: 2011.linux.conf.au/programme/schedule/view_talk/190 While working on CCAN I realised just how many C coding tricks there are. Regrettably, we spend very little time reading completely foreign code and instead we collect techniques one by one over years. It needn't be that way: this presentation is a cookbook with examples of all the C programming tricks I have found value in. Not just the basics like valgrind, talloc and the Jenkins hash, but less sane techniques like typesafe callbacks, runtime code updating, C as a scripting language and malloc failure path testing. Everyone who codes in C will get something out of this talk. 2011.linux.conf.au/ - linux.org.au CC BY-SA - creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode.txtWhy it's here

On “Do you have any goo talks on anything C?”
Look for talks coming out of Linux.conf.au. This one by Rusty springs to mind link to this video

I don't know of any channel that does advanced C and even talks are very hard to find.
Off the top of my head I remember watching and appreciating these:
- 21:Everything u need 2 know about pointers -Richard Buckland when I was learning pointers, not that advanced
- Standford CS107 already mentioned here, great series of lectures
- Advanced C Coding For Fun! networking stuff by Rusty Russell, that guy is really funny
- How I program C by Eskil Steenberg. This guy does graphics and game related things and it seems he really knows his stuff
