zxwrt | 3 years ago | on: C23 Implications for C Libraries

Actually, the only compiler interface that can claim to call itself a standard is POSIX c99. Everything else is too volatile to be a standard.

Sad that C23 didn't get symbol visibility attributes. They are very useful for libraries. Perhaps there is still a chance to get them?

Do you know why they fail to implement ipv6 for years? I mean it's shame when tech-oriented website/service can't keep up with new technologies.

Would be cool if you could share more information how to do that.

I agree that disabling will-be-posix extensions in POSIX mode sounds like an extreme idea, but seriously, such strictness is the main point of the pdpmake. It ensures that implementation conform to the current standard, not draft which may change quite often.

> Is there a good source for finding strict POSIX tools rather than just go digging?

Some communities(iglunix, kisslinux, carbs linux, wyvertux, oasis linux, ...) are actively researching alternatives to the "standard" coreutils. You could check what they use, perhaps you'll find something interesting and strict. But general source is digging of course :)

> But I guess this can be expected when you are dealing with a tool that has evolved in multiple directions since 1977?

Exactly. 100% conformance isn't always possible, especially when standard is unclear on some things.
