Sometimes I wonder whether C (the ISO programming language) will ever diverge from C (the de facto FFI and ABI for all systems ever) I expect no but I hope yes

- pjmlp 4y agoIn practice that has always been the case, if you do a random pub quiz, what many will answer will be "my C compiler does XYZ", not "ISO C defines XYZ". Hence why then you see those rants when they get surprised trying to port to another platform, or compiler vendor, or having optimizations sneak on their back that are perfectly valid from ISO C point of view.
