Looking at the portability guidelines[1] there is some confusion; early on it says:
> Currently we assume at least a freestanding C89 compiler But then later in that same section I see things like: > The GNU coding standards allow one departure from strict C99 and: > Hence Gnulib code should avoid using constructs (e.g., undeclared > functions return int) that do not conform to C99. etc. Are these references to C99 typos, and they should be C89 instead? Also, I see this: > Gnulib code can assume that standard internal types like size_t are no > wider than long. Is that right? On a 64bit system compiling with Microsoft Visual C, long is only a 32bit integer. Is it saying that gnulib is specifically not intended to work with MS Visual C? ----- [1] https://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/manual/html_node/Portability-guidelines.html
