Meh.  Most C compilers, certainly including gcc, clang, and
Microsoft's C compiler, are not conforming by default.  In fact,
I don't know of any that are.

I consider this unfortunate, but it means that if you want a
conforming C compiler, you need to use apply additional options
("-std=cNN -pedantic" for gcc and clang, and something else for
Microsoft's compiler).

The problem, of course, is that different C compilers in their default
modes are lax in different ways, so an error that compiler X ignores by
default might become fatal when you use compiler Y.
