Re: C versus gcc



It's not "C versus gcc", it's "pcc versus ANSI C". Let's set
the record straight on that count.

It would be "C versus gcc" if we started inlining functions, putting
statements inside expressions, using long longs, and so on. I think
one concession is made to the GNU C extensions (see: "noreturn") but
it is carefully #ifdef'ed.

Aren't you happy we stuck to the Standard C language instead?

Diatribes aside (though I really wish all those people still in the
stone age would get off their butts and get with the program, it's not
like ANSI C showed up yesterday), I'll do my best to make es similarly
portable as rc. (i.e., unproto + pcc should work.)

This message is wrong, 10% content, 90% flame. I'll try to improve
my signal:noise in future messages, but I also had to get this out
of my system.
