Thanks :)
As I developer that doesn't bother me too much, though I can
imagine that management would be concerned. For larger
projects it's appreciated when I can point to a particular
fixed standard that I'm following. In addition to the
`#define` statement above, my libraries were also compiled with
`gcc -std=c99`.
I'll move over to a compiler specific area and broach the topic.
This is one of the arguments for a LTS release. If you know you
can compile your code for, say, the next four years, including
dependencies, it's not likely to be a problem. If there's a new
compiler released eight times a year, there's no hope for that
kind of stability, particularly when there are any dependencies.
