As Richard said, the opposite is true unless you invoke gcc with
the correct options. That's why it has a -pedantic option!

As a learner using gcc, you should use

gcc -ansi -Wall -pedantic

as a minimum set of options. Substitute '-std=c99' for '-ansi'
if you are learning C99.

Correction: That omits many useful tests. I suggest:

gcc -W -Wall -ansi -pedantic

for better error detection.
