That is correct in general. If the question is specific to a particular
compiler i.e. doesn't make sense for other compilers then you need
a platform/system specific newsgroup. comp.lang.c is about the C language,
i.e. that which can run on any C compiler/platform.

The Unix kernel is written (mostly) in C. That does not make Unix system
questions relevant to comp.lang.c. The question question in this case
was about Doors and libraries, not about the C language itself. c.l.c
is not a dustbin for questions about every application that happens to be
writen in C, or API that can be called from a C program.
