Hey, Well, the three big ones are K&R C, C89, and C99 - although the latter is not implemented fully (see: http://gcc.gnu.org/c99status.html). I would recommend using the most recent: C99 (so, -std=c99). Or if you're only planning on using GCC, you can also use gnu99, which enables the GNU extensions to C99.

It seems says more than one versions. Can anyone clarify it? Which version is the most popular now and recommended? > Thanks and regards! > >
