Yes, the command-line options matter (gcc -x f77 is not even trying to
be a C compiler).  If you don't say what you want, you get whatever
defaults the gcc people decided on.  You know this from all the other
times its cropped up.

As it happens, I get a warning from the second line with no gcc options
at all.  But that's the trouble with not saying what you want -- you
really don't know what you'll get from one release to another.  But you
must get a diagnostic when you ask for -std=c11 -Wpedantic (the other
warning options are your choice).

Could we make this the last time you act surprised that (a) gcc does not
implement standard C by default, and (b) you only get warned about some
things?  Maybe you could pin a note to your computer: "gcc is not a
confirming C compiler by default"?

(and you explain that compilation stops here)

That's your choice, but it makes your compiler non-conforming.  I think
you've said before that you are not aiming for a conforming compiler,
but rather for one that does what you think is useful.  Since it's your
compiler for your own use, there's nothing wrong with that.

That's still wrong.

OK, but you have not answered James's question.  I'll leave it to him to
ask again if he thinks it's worth while persevering.
