You can just enable -std=c99 with gcc
I won't be using gcc for this test.
to see it doesn't compile. Some amount of work might be needed for
true C99 compat.
Oh, I agree. That is fine at this stage. I was merely doing the acid
test to see what happened.
I'd suggest you to reply to the earlier thread "C89 vs. C99" started recently.
I saw and I did. However at the moment I am looking firmly at 7.0.14RC1
just to see if I can get a compile at all using whatever tools
necessary on a somewhat strict environment. I start with c99 and then
move downwards until I hit a very lax compiler with extensions and
gnuisms etc etc. Near as I can tell by the gcc manuals and specs there
isn't full compliance for C99 in gcc at this time regardless so I will
start with a compiler that has worked very well for me on this POSIX
tight platform. Works well for version 5.6.x thus far with the exception
of the last two releases.
