Description rebecca+freebsd@bluestop.org 2015-07-03 12:11:08 UTC

In the STANDARDS section of c99(1), it says:

"The c99 utility interface conforms to IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (``POSIX.1'').
Since it is a wrapper around GCC, it is limited to the C99 features that GCC actually implements.  See http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.2/c99status.html."

Since the project has switched from gcc to clang, that's no longer correct.
