Yes I find that terribly annoying. Conflating language features and library features is less than optimal I think. There ought to be separate options for that. (I think the same problem exists when you -D one of those POSIX defines, but it was a while ago that I tried and I never tried it since.) NetBSD's libc is much more sensible in this. -std=c99 enables the language features of C99 but doesn't disable the POSIX and NetBSD (etc) functions. Why one would want to disable POSIX when compiling something on a POSIX system I don't know. As far as I'm aware they are not forbidden by the C standard, merely extensions. A workaround is to use -std=gnu99, but that also enables the GNU extensions to the language. -Olaf. -- ___ Olaf 'Rhialto' Seibert -- The Doctor: No, 'eureka' is Greek for \X/ rhialto/at/xs4all.nl -- 'this bath is too hot.'
