I'm not telling anyone how to compile their programs.  All I'm
doing is giving a way of checking whether a program is C code or
is written in a language that may look like C but isn't.  Knowing
how to do that is something I could have benefited from - many
years ago I wrote some code that I thought was being written in
C, but later I discovered that it wasn't.  I started programming
in C long before there was a C standard, and didn't realize the
degree to which different compilers had different ideas of what
"C" was.  As of this year we are celebrating the 35th anniversary
of the original C standard, and the 25th anniversary of C99, so I
think it's reasonable to expect that people participating in the
newsgroup here at least know how to tell if some code they are
working on is written in C or it isn't.
