gnu99 is the default. Also, the standard doesn't talk about errors or warnings, it only requires diagnostics for ill-formed code. Deciding what kind of diagnostic to issue is a compiler implementation decision. -- Alexandre Oliva http://www.lsd.ic.unicamp.br/~oliva/ Red Hat Compiler Engineer [EMAIL PROTECTED], gcc.gnu.org} Free Software Evangelist [EMAIL PROTECTED], gnu.org}
