[chox] GCC vs. C-Standard



| The two editions of the C standard provide almost 100% of the details
| needed to implement a conforming processor of C programs. In contrast
| gcc and other compilers typically document their extensions from the
| users' side ("this is how you can use our new cool feature"), and rarely
| provide enough details for developing a fully compatible implementation.
| Thus we have open source software limiting interoperability by embracing
| and extending existing standards. [...]
|
| It would be great if we, implementers of open source software, showed
| some temperance in our work and implemented the whole standard and
| (almost) nothing outside the standard. Only then can we honestly claim
| to be really supporting open standards and interoperability.
