It is simple, reliable and widely-supported, sure, but it lacks certain features that could be useful. In 2014, while not all compilers support all of C99, most support it at least partially, and we don’t need the whole thing. For an example of something C99 has that C89 lacks, it is a pain to have to redefine isnan() and isfinite() (the latter being particularly difficult) when doing floating-point math. -- Andrea Faulds http://ajf.me/ -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
