It lacks unfortunately much more than prototypes and const. I tried it for an embedded-8080 project back then and even considered porting it to some peculiar processor and OS I used to work with until I realized that the possible gain would not justify the effort. Nowadays it would be almost better to resort to the "Obfuscated C" dialect, its compiler is orders of magnitude more compact :) Small-C/Plus (about twice as big as Small-C?) actually might be usable, had somebody produced ports to more practical platforms than "Z80 with undocumented instructions".
