- From the manual page
-
- -Amode Specify the compilation standard to be used by the
- compiler. mode can be one of the following letters:
-
-
- -------------------------8<------------------------------------------
-
- e Extended ANSI mode. Same as -Aa -D_HPUX_SOURCE
- +e. This would define the names (macros and
- typedefs) provided by the HPUX Operating System
- and, in addition, allow the following
- extensions: $ characters in identifier names,
- sized enums, sized bit-fields, and 64-bit
- integral type long long. Additional extensions
- may be added to this option in the future.
-
-
- Basicaly if you use -Aa to get ANSI C then you get just ANSI C
- and no access to normal Unix features. by using various -D
- options you can select the standard you would like to conform
- to. -D_HPUX_SOURCE allows access to the full range of features.
- -Ae is a quicker way to get this.
