NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     c89 - ANSI (1989) C compiler

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     c89 [-pedantic] [-pedantic-errors] [-D_ANSI_SOURCE] [options ...]

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     Calls the C compiler (cc) with the given options, using a C language
     environment compatible with the ANSI X3.159-1989 (``ANSI C'') specification.


     This includes proper handling of trigraphs, disabling non-ANSI compiler
     features (such as asm, inline, typeof, and the $ character in identifiers),
 and definition of the preprocessor symbol __STRICT_ANSI__.

     The following options are available:

     -pedantic           Issue extra warnings defined by ANSI for use of nonANSI
 features.

     -pedantic-errors    Issue errors instead of warnings that normally would
                         be presented by -pedantic.

     -D_ANSI_SOURCE      Tell the system header file set to use an ANSI-conformant
 "clean" namespace.
