C is quite stable in the sense that in most cases C90 code is acceptable under C99 or C11 rules. I think there are four kinds of differences that someone might want to avoid. One, some C90 features were removed from C99. The obvious examples are implicit 'int' type and implicit function declaration. Two, some constructs are allowed in both C90 and C99 but have different semantics, or possibly different semantics. One example is what precision is used in expressions evaluated in the C preprocessor. Another example is integer division, which is well-defined in C99 but only implementation-defined in C90. Three, in some cases code that is legal in C90 is not legal in C99 (and not because features are just removed as in case one). The most obvious examples involve the use of new keywords such as 'inline' and 'restrict' as ordinary identifiers. Four, use of constructs that are newly allowed in C99 and are (obviously) legal under C99 rules but would cause diagnostics under C90 rules. An example is allowing a trailing comma in definitions of 'enum' types. If someone were to want non-C90 code (even only certain non-C90 constructs) to be given a diagnostic then obviously using C99 or later would prevent that. Are any of these cases ones that you find objectionable or would cause difficulty for code that you work on? If so which ones? My question here is meant to ask about specifics, not just general categories. And to be clear, I don't mean to limit the set of potential problems being considered to just the examples given above.

I suppose what I'm trying to get at is that there is merit in having a small, well-defined, well-known language that doesn't keep buzzing around. People who want bells and whistles can undoubtedly find them in other languages, so why insist on dragging them into C as well when they're so rarely a good fit, like trying to split an infinitive... in Latin? So no, Tim; it's not for specific technical reasons, but more for the sake of having one widely-known language that really is a lingua franca and valuable for that very reason. -- Richard Heathfield Email: rjh at cpax dot org dot uk "Usenet is a strange place" - dmr 29 July 1999 Sig line 4 vacant - apply within

Of course. And so do the (to me, spurious) reasons offered for changing the language in the first place. If those reasons have convinced you, you're not going to be convinced back by a rigorous analysis, so why bother? Besides, the ship has obviously sailed, and all that remains to me is my opinion... oh, and my -ansi -pedantic flags.

[...] C99 is a small, well-defined, well-known language that doesn't keep buzzing around. C99 hasn't changed in more than a quarter of a century. > So no, Tim; it's not for specific technical reasons, but more for > the sake of having one widely-known language that really is a lingua > franca and valuable for that very reason. These days it is C99 that is more common than C90, just as today's "lingua franca" is English rather than French. So it looks like the grump factor is the only factor actually taking part in the decision here.
