So how can we be sure all C compilers implement this switch? In bsd.port.mk I see some traces of ICC support. Using this approach it would also be possible to remap certain C standards to different compilers. Really, I really don't care how it's done, whether it's a flag or added to the compiler flags directly. I'm just saying adding it to CFLAGS directly sounds like a very bad idea. Adding it to /etc/make.conf sounds even worse, because it probably only confuses (autoconf) scripts that try to figure out a way to make the compiler speak C99. -- Ed Schouten <e...@80386.nl> WWW: http://80386.nl/
