GCC and ISO C9X

GCC and ISO C9X

[Cyril Franconie]

Hi,

I have a question about gcc 2.95.2 and the support of the C9X ISO
recommendations
as stated in the "GCC 2.95 new features" : 

does it mean that this new version support ALL the C9X proposals ? or if
this is not the case, where can i find the list of what is implemented
or not ?

thanks in advance .

No, it is not complete, yet.

Check out http://gcc.gnu.org/c9xstatus.html .

If anybody can provide updates to the list, please let me know. I'd
expect updates in the areas
- the approved International Standard changed compared to draft I've
  used to create this table,
- the status of the implementation changed,
- there is an error in the table that was there all along :-)

Regards,
Martin

I just realized that we don't really advertise this page as much as
we could, which is a pity, for it's really nice!

Cyril, where would you have expected such a link?

Want to submit an entry for the FAQ (the wwwdocs one), Martin?

Perhaps, simply in the "new feature" page where C9X is listed :
http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-2.95/features.html


By the way, i'm especially interested in the "inttypes.h/stdint.h"
feature
which is marked as "Library issue" in your table : What does that mean
exactly ?
Are those include files implemented in a library somewhere in gcc
2.95.2, or must it be supplied by another side... ?

thanks.

It means GCC is just a compiler; the C library, in which features
marked as `Library issues' should be implemented, is a separate
project.

Exactly. If you are using Linux, you can look at glibc 2.1 to find out
what is supported. For other Unix systems, you probably have to wait
until the OS vendor (IBM, Sun, HP, whoever) ships an updated version
of the operating system where /usr/include provides those
headers. What platform where you looking for?

Good idea, thanks!

I just installed the following patch.

(Martin, when you update that page, perhaps you could add "GCC >2.96"
or something similiar to those items that have changed, so that people
can see which version of GCC they need for a given feature?)
