Category: liblicense Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Peter Miller (pmiller) >Assigned to: Scott Shawcroft (tannewt) Summary: liblicense.0.4 - gcc -ansi Initial Comment: This change set increases the portability of the C code - to compilers other than GCC - by avoiding post-1989 features of the C language definition. Yes: 18 years later and they STILL haven't caught up. I haven't committed this to my repo yet, I'd like to know what folks think. Personally, I'd rather be coding in C++, where mixed declarations and statements are OK. They make a lot of sense. Problem is that most compilers except GCC are, well, behind the times. The no-c++ comments thing is important programmer psychology. It provides the reader with an almost subliminal clue that they are dealing with C, and not anything else. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=559968&aid=1781994&group_id=80503 _______________________________________________ cc-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/cc-devel
