Why are some ANSI/ISO Standard library functions showing up as undefined, even though I've got an ANSI compiler?

✍: Guest

It's possible to have a compiler available which accepts ANSI syntax, but not to have ANSI-compatible header files or run-time libraries installed. (In fact, this situation is rather common when using a non-vendor-supplied compiler such as gcc.)

Why does the ANSI Standard place limits on the length and case-significance of external identifiers?
Why does the ANSI Standard place limits on the length and case-significance of external identifiers? The problem is linkers which are under control of neither the ANSI/ISO Standard nor the C compiler developers on the systems which have them. The limitation is only that identifiers be significant in... 2015-12-04, 1033👍, 0💬

What does it really mean for a program to be legal or `valid or ``conforming?
What does it really mean for a program to be legal or `valid or ``conforming? Simply stated, the Standard talks about three kinds of conformance: conforming programs, strictly conforming programs, and conforming implementations. A conforming program is one that is accepted by a conforming implementa... 2015-11-23, 1030👍, 0💬

Does anyone have a tool for converting old-style C programs to ANSI C?
Does anyone have a tool for converting old-style C programs to ANSI C, or vice versa, or for automatically generating prototypes? Two programs, protoize and unprotoize, convert back and forth between prototyped and ``old style'' function definitions and declarations. (These programs do not handle fu... 2015-11-25, 1025👍, 0💬

What should malloc0 do? Return a null pointer or a pointer to 0 bytes?
What should malloc0 do? Return a null pointer or a pointer to 0 bytes? The ANSI/ISO Standard says that it may do either; the behavior is implementation-defined Portable code must either take care not to call malloc(0), or be prepared for the possibility of a null return. 2015-12-04, 1016👍, 0💬

What was noalias and what ever happened to it?
What was noalias and what ever happened to it? noalias was another type qualifier, in the same syntactic class as const and volatile, which was intended to assert that an object was not pointed to (``aliased'') by other pointers. The primary application, which is an important one, would have been fo... 2015-12-02, 1008👍, 0💬

I'm appalled that the ANSI Standard leaves so many issues undefined. Isn't a Standard's whole job to standardize these things? It has always been a characteristic of C that certain constructs behaved in whatever way a particular compiler or a particular piece of hardware chose to implement them. Thi... 2015-11-18, 1007👍, 0💬

Wy compiler is rejecting the simplest possible test programs ...
My compiler is rejecting the simplest possible test programs, with all kinds of syntax errors. It's complaining about the first line of main(int argc, char **argv) { return 0; } Perhaps it is a pre-ANSI compiler, unable to accept function prototypes and the like. If you don't have access to an ANSI ... 2015-12-02, 1002👍, 0💬

What does the message Automatic aggregate intialization is an ANSI feature mean?
What does the message Automatic aggregate intialization is an ANSI feature'' mean? My compiler is complaining about valid ANSI code. Messages like these are typically emitted by pre-ANSI compilers which have been upgraded just enough to detect (but not properly translate) new C features which were i... 2015-11-30, 957👍, 0💬
