I'm partial to the *bsd camp which has forked gcc from 4.2.1 due to license issues (with clang being groomed to replace it)... I'd strongly argue that any supported platform should be able to use it's "system" compiler and not require an optional compiler (with windows being a special case, naturally) <snip> > > P.S.

Probably less than a > week's worth of work. Correct me if I'm wrong, but most of the c89 issues are things addressed by c90/c99. The biggest violator I can think of off the top of my head being the use of 'long long' in a src/other/... Does anyone have a canonical list of c89 issues (and possibly c90 or c99 issues)? > Cheers! > Sean -Erik ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get 100% visibility into Java/.NET code with AppDynamics Lite!
