And here it is. As to other things that we currently not allow in our codebase that newer compilers can grok, here is what *I* think. It is *not* meant to be an exhaustive "what's new in C99 that is not in C89? what is the final verdict on each of them?": - There were occasional cases where we wished if variable-length arrays, flexible array members and variadic macros were available in our codebase during the course of this project. We would probably want to add a similar test baloon patch for each of them to this series that is currently two-patch long. - I prefer to keep decl-after-statement out of our codebase. I view it as a big plus in code-readability to be able to see a complete list of variables that will be used in a block upfront before starting to read the code that uses them. - Corollary to the above, I do not mind to have a variable declaration in the initialization clause of a for() statement (e.g. "for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) { ... }"), as the scoping rule is very sensible. Some of our "for()" statements use the value of the variable after iteration, for which this new construct cannot be used, though. - This may be showing I am not just old fashioned but also am ignorant, but I do not see much point in using the following in our codebase (iow, I am not aware of places in the existing code that they can be improved by employing these features): . // comments . restricted pointers . static and type qualifiers in parameter array declarators -- >8 -- Subject: [PATCH] clean.c: use designated initializer This is another test balloon to see if we get complaints from people whose compilers do not support designated initializer for arrays. The use of the feature is not all that interesting for cases like the one this patch touches, where the initialized elements of the array is dense, but it would be nice if we can use the feature to initialize an array that has elements initialized to interesting values only sparsely.
