Have you? Real question - I'd be very interested in that.
The list of (allegedly) fully compliant compilers is not very impressive (IBM, PGI, Sun), but in practice, you're aiming at C99 support to the level of GCC, which will get you - in addition to GCC and its (supposedly) drop-in replacement Clang - AMD and Intel (I think ICC has C99 support to GCC level, but there are probably discrepancies in the feature sets)...
- pjmlp 15y agoIn many of our projects we are not able to use GCC and are forced to use the official vendor's compiler for the platform. So it might be not that easy for certain companies to use your suggestion. As far for what 'mostly' means. I have been coding since the K&R days, so I am aware that even when things are supposed to be 100% the same among C compilers, reality speaks otherwise.
