ANSI X3.159-1989
The first C standard, published in 1989 from ANSI. In documentations, we refere to this standard as C89
ISO/IEC 9899:1990
The C89 standard was adopted by ISO/IEC in 1990 with only minor changes. In documentations we refere to this standard as C90.
ISO/IEC 14882:1998
The official C++ standard. In documentations we refere to this standard as CPP98.
xHarbour Project C Sources
You can use any C89 / C90 conforming compiler to compile the xHarbour sourcecodes. Additionally, you can use any CPP98 conforming compiler.
Single Line Comments
Most C89/C90 compilers support "//" style comments, although this is not part of the standard. The xHarbour C Sources use those style of comments for single line comments.
Code Style Workarounds
"Free Blocks" are used, where an variable declaration in middle of a function body is neccessary:
{
ULONG *temp = ...
memcopy( ULONG, ...
}
This increases source code readability, whilst allowing the code to be compiled by the C89 standard.
