So what > don't you understand? gcc does by default compile all conforming ISO C90 programs and, with the appropriate option, almost all conforming C99 programs. I am not aware of any compiler which by default rejects all non-conforming C90 or C99 programs, though most compilers, including gcc, do have a mode in which they reject non-conforming programs. > Too bad for GNU and gcc.

The standard discusses conforming programs, not non-conforming programs. Ian
