SYNOPSIS
c99 |
[-pedantic]
[-pedantic-errors]
[-D_ANSI_SOURCE] [options ...] |
DESCRIPTION
Calls the C compiler (cc) with the given options, using a C language environment compatible with the ISO/IEC 9899:1999 (“ISO C99”) specification.This includes inline functions, variable-length arrays, support
for one-line comments beginning with //, disabling non-ANSI compiler
features (such as asm, typeof,
and the $ character in identifiers), and definition of the preprocessor
symbol __STRICT_ANSI__.
The following options are available:
-pedantic- Issue extra warnings defined by ANSI for use of non-ANSI features.
-pedantic-errors- Issue errors instead of warnings that normally would be presented by
-pedantic. -D_ANSI_SOURCE- Tell the system header file set to use an ANSI-conformant "clean" namespace.

"cc:".
