C99

[Fred J. Tydeman]

I see references to C99 mode in the documentation, but I do not see
how to have the compiler do that mode.

This page in the Wiki
http://wiki.openwatcom.org/index.php/C99_Compliance
discusses features implemented, at least when last updated.

Note the reference to -za99.

Thank you. I was mainly looking in the OpenWatcom 2.0 pdf files.

Using grep, I found that owcc.exe has -std=c99
However, I cannot find documentation on owcc.

According to
http://wiki.openwatcom.org/index.php/Undocumented_features
it has been documented in the C/C++ Tools User Guide since OW 1.5.

It's the second item in Contents, cleverly disguised as "The Open
Watcom C/C++ POSIX-like Compiler Driver".

However, I didn't see anything about -std. Still, it wouldn't hurt to
try it and see what happens.
