Hi, I got today the news that ISO C99 passed the JTC. This has multiple implications: - glibc is (almost) ready - we are missing the nice "ISO C9A" joke But this also brought up anothing thing: after 10 years we are still carrying around the balast of K&R. And this with a cost everybody has to pay everything s/he uses a compiler. I really think this is not acceptable anymore. K&R is dead, at least on GNU platforms. Therefore I would like to drop all K&R compatibility. This means, all headers will loose the __P and the __const and whatever junk we have. I think this can considerably speed up the preprocessor. Does anybody have problems with this? Are there any chances that you could thinnk this is a problem? -- ---------------. drepper at gnu.org ,-. 1325 Chesapeake Terrace Ulrich Drepper \ ,-------------------' \ Sunnyvale, CA 94089 USA Cygnus Solutions `--' drepper at cygnus.com `------------------------
