In fact the code is mostly standard C, + with C99 initializers, long long and possibly the occasional // comment as + the main departures from C89. Additional GCCisms will be accepted if it's + impractical to avoid them. At least one active user is still using GCC + 2.95, so extensions that only appear in later versions are to be avoided + for the time being. + * Please submit patches either using 'diff -u', or by publishing a bzr branch somewhere I can get at it. -- [mdw]
