Old code that wants the non-const function prototypes can ask for an older C version (e.g. gcc -std=c18). That wouldbe done anyway. Changes in the stdandard do not apply retroactively (from an ISO perspective, the new stadard replaces the old one, so no statements about older standards are made). But people (the Austin group, i.e. the POSIX comittee) want to be able to compile old code in C2X mode and not see any new diagnostics. Philipp
