C89(1) BSD General Commands Manual C89(1)NAMEc89 — ANSI (1989) C compiler
SYNOPSISc89 [-pedantic] [-pedantic-errors] [-D_ANSI_SOURCE] [options ...]
DESCRIPTION
Calls the C compiler (cc) with the given options, using a C language
environment compatible with the ANSI X3.159-1989 (“ANSI C89”) specifica‐
tion.
This includes proper handling of trigraphs, disabling non-ANSI compiler
features (such as asm, inline, typeof, and the $ character in identi‐
fiers), and definition of the preprocessor symbol __STRICT_ANSI__.
The following options are available:
-pedantic Issue extra warnings defined by ANSI for use of non-
ANSI features.
-pedantic-errors Issue errors instead of warnings that normally would
be presented by -pedantic.
-D_ANSI_SOURCE Tell the system header file set to use an ANSI-con‐
formant "clean" namespace.
SEE ALSOcc(1)STANDARDSc89 conforms to IEEE Std 1003.2-1992 (“POSIX.2”).
HISTORYc89 appeared in NetBSD 1.4.
BUGS
Since c89 is a shell wrapper script to cc, compile errors are prefixed by
"cc:".
