In my view several items should be added to the list of essential
C99 features. Some of these items are changes programmers may
not even realize they are benefiting from.
Some C90 behaviors no longer allowed:
REMOVED: implicit int
REMOVED: implicit function declaration
return with expression now disallowed in void function,
and vice versa
Some C90 behaviors expanded or improved:
guaranteed length of global identifiers - went from 6 to 31
(and length of local identifiers went from 31 to 63)
initializers for elements of automatic aggregates and unions
no longer required to be constant expressions
Some added language constructs:
boolean type _Bool
for() statement allows the first clause to be a declaration
compound literals
designated initializers
