GCC does a very bad job here by enabling part of C99 by default and breaking the other half of the specs. Also C99 is pretty much a bastarized version of C++ in an incompatible way. The price to accept C99 is too high, especially when all we use (in 99.99999% of what the usages) is stdint/stdbool. Simply detect and define them at configure time will kill the need to use c99 and keeps us on the good/right side (what I do on win for example,easy) :) Cheers, -- Pierre @pierrejoye | http://blog.thepimp.net | http://www.libgd.org
