The Pre-ANSI C language had no standard library, but most non-UNIX implementations included some subset of the historic UNIX(R) C library headers such as <io.h> etc.
You sure about that? 4.2 / 4.3 BSD UNIX (pre-ansi-C, i.e. K&R v1), while they did not have libstdc.a / stdlib.h, they did have quite a bit packed into libc.a, which was implicitly given to the linker from the top-level cc command.
Or are you in fact referring to -lstdc and #include <stdlib.h>? (in which case, I'm sorry for the noise.) [K&R v1 is still the most elegant language ever to grace the systems.] -- --*greywolf;
