In article <355@sdti.SDTI.COM> turner@sdti.SDTI.COM (Prescott K. Turner, Jr.) writes: >In fact, its failure to say more will probably doom the plan to define >__STDC__ to 2 in future standards. [Because many programs will write >#if __STDC__ == 1 and will break if it ever becomes 2.] The unofficial portions of the Standard do mention the intent to make __STDC__ have the value 2 in the future. Therefore, I hold the opinion that anyone who ignores this deserves what they get. Likewise for anybody who knowingly depends on a deprecated feature. Karl W. Z.
