Err, for the C99 features I use (primarily localised declarations),
gcc. I thought I mentioned that?

In order to get gcc to support those features, one must invoke it in a
non-conforming mode.

This is false and you know it.

No, he's right on this point.

No he's not.

gcc has a mode in which it's reasonably (but not perfectly) conforming
to C90. It has no mode in which it's as conforming to C99.

I disagree, but unlike RJH I have no intention of wasting my time
prolonging this thread further.
