-D_HAVE_ISOC9X_SOURCE and gcc -std=c99

[Stefano Sabatini]

Hi all,

I would like to know what you guys consider more portable (as far
as I can understand it -std=c99 is a gcc specific option).

Also can you say what's the difference between
-D_HAVE_ISOC9X_SOURCE

and
-D_HAVE_ISOC99_SOURCE

or can you provide a pointer to the documentation for these macros?

Many thanks in advance.

Please put the entire question in the body of the article. Some
newsreaders make it difficult to see the subject header, which was:

Subject: -D_HAVE_ISOC9X_SOURCE and gcc -std=c99

Also can you say what's the difference between
-D_HAVE_ISOC9X_SOURCE

and
-D_HAVE_ISOC99_SOURCE

or can you provide a pointer to the documentation for these macros?

Neither "-std=c99", "_HAVE_ISOC9X_SOURCE", nor "_HAVE_ISOC99_SOURCE"
are standard features. I know that "-std=c99" is gcc-specific (and it
*doesn't* give you full C99 compliance). I don't see either
"_HAVE_ISOC9X_SOURCE", or "_HAVE_ISOC99_SOURCE" in the gcc
documentation

Try gnu.gcc.help.
