    Status of C99 features in GCC

    This table is based on the list in the foreword to the printed standard ISO/IEC 9899:1999 (E), as amended by ISO/IEC 9899:1999/Cor.1:2001 (E) and ISO/IEC 9899:1999/Cor.2:2004 (E).

    Where "Library Issue" is listed in conjunction with some other status, this means that some compiler support is needed for the library support, or desirable in conjunction with it. Note that the headers required of conforming freestanding implementations (clause 4 paragraph 6) do not count as library issues.

    This page describes the C99 support in mainline GCC CVS, not in any particular release. Information is also available on C99 support in GCC 4.1, C99 support in GCC 4.0, C99 support in GCC 3.4, C99 support in GCC 3.3, C99 support in GCC 3.1 and 3.2 and on C99 support in GCC 3.0, but not on the much more limited support in GCC 2.95.

    See below the table for further notes on some issues.

    Further notes

    • cpp has limited support for multibyte character sets.
    • IEC 60559 is IEEE 754 floating point. This works if and only if the hardware is perfectly compliant, but GCC does not define __STDC_IEC_559__ or implement the associated standard pragmas.
    • Compiler support is needed for math_errhandling; see messages 1, 2, 3 on this subject to libc-hacker.
    • In some places, -pedantic warnings don't take proper account of the standard version selected.
    • GCC doesn't have wprintf, wscanf and wcsftime format checking support.
    • Complex numbers support may be broken (some problems with passing/returning complex values on 64-bit targets, and not checked against the requirements of the C99 standard). However, the _Complex keyword now works.
    • C99 inline functions do not generate an external definition if declared without extern, but do if declared with extern, the opposite of GCC's handling of inline and extern inline. This will probably require existing glibc headers to be fixincluded.
    • The C99 semantics of variable length arrays (VLAs) are not fully implemented by the existing GCC extension: the concept of variably modified (VM) types, and the rules for what identifiers can be declared with VLA or VM types, are not implemented (for example, GCC allows elements of VM type in a structure with block scope); while the syntax for arrays to be declared with [*] in parameter declarations is present, the semantics are not; and in general the implementation of VLAs has not been checked against C99 requirements.
    • const-qualified compound literals could share storage with each other and with string literals, but currently don't.
    • The information provided by static in parameter array declarators is not used for optimization. It might make sense to use it in future in conjunction with work on prefetching.
    • The list above differs from that in the C99 standard (as amended by TC1) as follows: "LIA compatibility annex" is removed, since it refers to C99's conformance to another standard rather than something for C implementations to do. The <stdint.h> and <inttypes.h> entries have been separated, but are a single entry in C99.
