Yes, quite clearly it's a judgment call. I listed what I considered to be important C99 features, features that even a half-baked "C99" compiler would have. It was not intended to be a comprehensive test for C99 conformance. For example, I didn't suggest testing for \U, since I don't think that's an important feature. I omitted far more C99 features than I mentioned. C99 is a bit trickier than C89, since its takeup is far more slower and gradual than C89's was. So it will be a trickier business to come up with a nice macro. I gave it my best shot, though. We can adjust the list of features as needed, based on further experience. _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
