How does that affect anything? Unbundling doesn't depend on changing the compiler. I don't see how the business model is affected by ANSI standardization. How would things have been different if C were standardized in 1984 instead?
- yuhong 12y agoIt may be that vendors uses it as an opportunity to unbundle (eg HP-UX).
- dalke 12y agoI don't understand how it makes a difference. Unbundling is a sales strategy. They could have unbundled even without changing the compiler at all. In any case, the literature I read (see earlier links) included discussion about improved optimizations, so even without ANSI there was a differentiation between the new unbundled compiler and the old bundled one. Why do you think it's anything more than a coincidence?
