B.2.73 -xc99[=o]
The -xc99 option controls compiler recognition of the implemented features from the C99 standard (ISO/IEC 9899:1999, Programming Language - C).
o can be a comma separated list comprised of the following:
Table B–15 The -xc99 Flags|
Flag |
Meaning |
|---|---|
|
[no]_lib |
[Do not] Enable the 1999 C standard library semantics of routines that appeared in both the 1990 and 1999 C standard. |
|
all |
Turn on recognition of supported C99 language features and enable the 1999 C standard library semantics of routines that appear in both the 1990 and 1999 C standard. |
|
none |
Turn off recognition of C99 language features, and do not enable the 1999 C standard library semantics of routines that appeared in both the 1990 and 1999 C standard. |
If you do not specify -xc99, the compiler defaults to -xc99=all,no_lib. If you specify -xc99 without any values, the option is set to-xc99=all.
Note –
Though the compiler support-level defaults to the language features of the C99 standard, the standard headers provided by the Solaris 8 and Solaris 9 operating systems in /usr/include do not conform with the 1999 ISO/IEC C standard. If you encounter error messages, try specifying -xc99=none to obtain the 1990 ISO/IEC C standard behavior for these headers.
The 1999 C standard library semantics of routines that appeared in both the 1990 and 1999 C standard are not available and therefore cannot be enabled on Solaris 8 and Solaris 9 software. The compiler issues an error message when you specify -xc99=lib directly or indirectly on Solaris 8 or Solaris 9 software.
