This compiler supports most of the language features specified in the ISO/IEC 9899:1999, Programming Language - C standard on operating systems earlier than Solaris 10 software. This compiler is in full compliance with the C99 standard on Solaris 10 software when you specify -xc99=all,lib.
This compiler also conforms with the ISO/IEC 9899:1990, Programming Languages- C standard.
Because the compiler also supports traditional K&R C (Kernighan and Ritchie, or pre-ANSI C), it can ease your migration to ISO C.
For information on C90 implementation-specific behavior, see D.1.17 _Pragma.
