Most Unix extensions are not in the C standard headers, rather they are
provided in additional headers. Jacob could have provided a qfloat.h
header, for example, without problem.

A better plan is to provide a
switch to disable it. This works perfectly for generic C code.

I agree that a switch to disable it is a good thing.

It might be better to have a single #define of an underscored name -
perhaps _LCC_EXTENSIONS - to control all lcc's extensions, as that
allows the user to turn it on or off for individual include files.

Here you are suggesting using a leading underscore for a name intended for
the user ;-)


The identifier is provided by the implementation, so theres no problem
