One has to draw the distinction between extensions to the language (the

I'm not sure I'd entirely agree with that. It'd be fairly hard to
implement the Win32 libraries on most embedded systems, I suspect.
Unless "implement" includes returining a noop...

It does, indeed. Point is that calling conventions, preprocessor magic,
syntax are all the same. If your program is

#include <windows.h>
int main (void)
{
return 0;
}

then it's a C program. If your program is

#include <magic.h>
int main (void)
{
return return 1.345e18u87;
}

then it's not.

Anything which conforms to the language defined in the current C
standard is a C program, which includes programs that include
non-standard headers.

Inasmuch as Geordie is still English. Which is to say not with respect
to passing an exam or making yourself understood in Arizona or
Auchtermuchty.

It's good that there is this English language, and nobody knows
now what really is "correct" English, but it doesn't have much
to do with C. What language is the first program posted here? Is
it C? If not, is it "you tell me what it is?". Whatever, that *is*
C even if you don't like Jacob Navia.
