- Is there an official statement as to what __STDC__ means? Does it mean "This
- compiler (in its current operating mode) fully supports ANSI Standard C," or
- does it mean "This compiler (in its current operating mode) disallows all
- extensions to ANSI Standard C."? In my opinion, common practice and the
- Rationale both support the former, rather than the latter, but is
- there an official ruling?
