Part of the problem is that we don't have a C89 or C++98 implementation with which we can test easily. I'm not aware of any way to turn GCC or Clang into a C89-only or a C++98-only compiler (and you said we'd need some extensions anyway).you mean specifically non-GNU extensions ? does having gcc-2.95.3 help ?
No, because most of the the GNU stuff is already in that version.I have a 2.7.2 build somewhere, and checked recently that at least some of the headers still work with it. But that doesn't tell us all that much about C89 compatibility.
