GCC with -traditional is not completely -compatible with traditional C, and in some ways I think it -should not be. - -* K&R C allowed \x to appear in a string literal (or character -literal?) even in cases where it is *not* followed by a sequence of -hex digits. I'm not convinced this is desirable. - -* K&R compilers allow comments to cross over an inclusion boundary (i.e. -started in an include file and ended in the including file). -I think this would be quite ugly and can't imagine it could -be needed. - -Sometimes tests disagree with GCC's interpretation of the ANSI standard. - -* One test claims that this function should return 1. - - enum {A, B} foo; - - func (enum {B, A} arg) - { - return B; - } - -I think it should return 0, because the definition of B that -applies is the one in func. - -* Some tests report failure when the compiler does not produce -an error message for a certain program. - -ANSI C requires a "diagnostic" message for certain kinds of invalid -programs, but a warning counts as a diagnostic. If GCC produces -a warning but not an error, that is correct ANSI support. -When test suites call this "failure", the tests are broken. - |
