using Dev-C++ to compile ONLY C code ?

Emanuele Blanco

Hi there,

don't know if it's the right group, but I'll try anyway. Sorry if I'm OT,
anybody can be so patient to tell me the right group ? Thanks :)

Anyway, the question is:

I know I can write C programs using a C++ environment like Dev-C++. However,
I'd like to know if there are some options that allow Dev to ignore C++
syntax and act as a C-only compiler. Is this possible ? And, if not, can
anybody suggest me a free C compiler under Windows ?

Thanks a lot.

Since Dev-C++ is in fact an IDE that comes with the MingW port of gcc,
the answer is, of course, yes. Name your files <name>.c and add the
following options to the compiler command line in order to invoke gcc
in C89 conforming mode:

-W -Wall -O<n> -std=c89 -pedantic

Notes:
1. replace <n> with a number in [1;3], or s
2. -std=c89 replaces the deprecated -ansi option
3. -std=c99 is possible too, but several C99 features have not
been implemented in gcc yet

</OT>

Please direct further implementation specific questions to either
gnu.gcc.help or the online forum at http://www.bloodshed.net/forum .

For standard C language questions comp.lang.c is however /the/ place
to ask, just be sure to read the FAQ and welcome message (links

HTH, good luck

Dev c++ bold convention

by: pauldepstein | last post by:

Could anyone explain the rule the Dev C++ compiler uses for deciding whether to convert a display of a word to bold font? A first attempt at an answer could be "Words are displayed in bold when they have an assigned meaning in c++". However, this answer doesn't quite work -- "main" does not get converted automatically to bold, and nor do words for classes of streams such as "iostream" for example. Surely, such words do have assigned...

Same query, different access plan in Prod. and Dev.

by: sql-db2-dba | last post by:

We have DB2 UDB v8.1 fixpak3 on AIX 5. Production and Development configuarations (at least for DB2) are identical albeit production is a 2-way server while development has only one processor. Tables and indexes have the same schema. In fact, the dev database was taken from a prod backup recently. Size of the tables differ slightly. Yet, on a given query (with 4 tables joined), it took 30-50 times longer to run in prod than on development....

How do I automatically redirect stdout and stderr when using os.popen2?

by: mikem76 | last post by:

How do I automatically redirect stdout and stderr when using os.popen2 to start a long running process. If the process prints a lot of stuff to stdout it will eventually stop because it runs out of buffer space. Once I start reading the stdout file returned by os.popen2 then the process resumes. I know that I could just specify > /dev/null when starting the process but I'd like to know if there is a way to start a process using os.popen2...

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

by: Hystou | last post by:

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
