- Are the two standards different in substance?
-
- Do you know of any rule in the ANSI C stardard corresponding to the rule
- (requiring a diagnostic for any program violating a constraint) in
- section 5.1.1.3 of the ISO standard?
-
- I know of several compilers that claim compliance (at least when invoked
- with the right options) to the ANSI standard. How many claim
- compliance to the ISO standard?
