Hello,

Does anyone, off hand, know the exact title of the ISO C that GDB 
assumes?  It's the ISO C that is based on ANSI C from ~'89.

Hmm, the official name seems to be "ISO/IEC 9899:1990", which is
usually abbreviated to "ISO C90" since the publication of "ISO/IEC
9899:1999" which is usually referred to as "ISO C99".  There is also
"ISO/IEC 9899 AM1" which is usually reffered to as "Amendment 1 to
ISO C90".

I believe that the "ISO C89" that one encounters every now and then is
a result of replacing ANSI with ISO without realising that ISO didn't
adopt (or at least publish) the C standard until 1990.

That is also referred to as ISO C95.

There is a good summary of the dates, standard names and informal
names of various C standards in the gcc documentation:
