NAME

     c89 -- ANSI (1989) C compiler


SYNOPSIS

     c89 [-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'') specifi-
     cation.

     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.

STANDARDS

     c89 conforms to IEEE Std 1003.2-1992 (``POSIX.2'').


HISTORY

     c89 appeared in NetBSD 1.4.


BUGS

     Since c89 is a shell wrapper script to cc, compile errors are prefixed by
     "cc:".
