Regarding portability, I am focused on Linux only. I don't work on any
other OS. So, Do you guys advise to use -std=c99 as compiler option ?

If you focused only on Linux you might as well take advantage of gcc
specific,

To both arnuld and santosh: please don't assume that everyone on Linux
uses gcc. At the very least, there's Intel's compiler, but there are other
useful compilers as well.

Linux specific and POSIX extensions.

Fair enough.

For gcc use '-std=gnu99'.

I would recommend sticking with -std=c99. Even if you want to make use of
GNU-specific features, you can use -std=c99; you'll usually just need to
either deal with warnings or clearly mark your use of extensions. This, in
my opinion, is a good thing.

It might still be useful to keep portable and non-portable functionality
separate, in case you ever change your mind.

Well, we had similar ideas apparently, but different methods.

Look-up the "feature test macros" functionality of GNU libc. The POSIX
documentation is also freely available online. For more details go to
comp.unix.programmer and comp.os.linux.development.[apps/system].
