<h2 class="chapter">Language Standards Supported by GCC</h2>
<p>For each language compiled by GCC for which there is a standard, GCC
attempts to follow one or more versions of that standard, possibly
with some exceptions, and possibly with some extensions.
<p>GCC supports three versions of the C standard, although support for
the most recent version is not yet complete.
<p>The original ANSI C standard (X3.159-1989) was ratified in 1989 and
published in 1990. This standard was ratified as an ISO standard
(ISO/IEC 9899:1990) later in 1990. There were no technical
differences between these publications, although the sections of the
ANSI standard were renumbered and became clauses in the ISO standard.
This standard, in both its forms, is commonly known as <dfn>C89</dfn>, or
occasionally as <dfn>C90</dfn>, from the dates of ratification. The ANSI
standard, but not the ISO standard, also came with a Rationale
document. To select this standard in GCC, use one of the options
<code>-ansi</code>, <code>-std=c89</code> or <code>-std=iso9899:1990</code>; to obtain
all the diagnostics required by the standard, you should also specify
<code>-pedantic</code> (or <code>-pedantic-errors</code> if you want them to be
errors rather than warnings). See <a href="C-Dialect-Options.html#C%20Dialect%20Options">Options Controlling C Dialect</a>.
<p>Errors in the 1990 ISO C standard were corrected in two Technical
Corrigenda published in 1994 and 1996. GCC does not support the
uncorrected version.
<p>An amendment to the 1990 standard was published in 1995. This
amendment added digraphs and <code>__STDC_VERSION__</code> to the language,
but otherwise concerned the library. This amendment is commonly known
as <dfn>AMD1</dfn>; the amended standard is sometimes known as <dfn>C94</dfn> or
<dfn>C95</dfn>. To select this standard in GCC, use the option
<code>-std=iso9899:199409</code> (with, as for other standard versions,
<code>-pedantic</code> to receive all required diagnostics).
<p>A new edition of the ISO C standard was published in 1999 as ISO/IEC
9899:1999, and is commonly known as <dfn>C99</dfn>. GCC has incomplete
support for this standard version; see
<a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-3.3/c99status.html">http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-3.3/c99status.html</a> for details. To select this
standard, use <code>-std=c99</code> or <code>-std=iso9899:1999</code>. (While in
development, drafts of this standard version were referred to as
<dfn>C9X</dfn>.)
<p>Errors in the 1999 ISO C standard were corrected in a Technical
Corrigendum published in 2001. GCC does not support the uncorrected
version.
<p>By default, GCC provides some extensions to the C language that on
rare occasions conflict with the C standard. See <a href="C-Extensions.html#C%20Extensions">Extensions to the C Language Family</a>. Use of the
<code>-std</code> options listed above will disable these extensions where
they conflict with the C standard version selected. You may also
select an extended version of the C language explicitly with
<code>-std=gnu89</code> (for C89 with GNU extensions) or <code>-std=gnu99</code>
(for C99 with GNU extensions). The default, if no C language dialect
options are given, is <code>-std=gnu89</code>; this will change to
<code>-std=gnu99</code> in some future release when the C99 support is
complete. Some features that are part of the C99 standard are
accepted as extensions in C89 mode.
<p>The ISO C standard defines (in clause 4) two classes of conforming
implementation. A <dfn>conforming hosted implementation</dfn> supports the
whole standard including all the library facilities; a <dfn>conforming
freestanding implementation</dfn> is only required to provide certain
library facilities: those in <code><float.h></code>, <code><limits.h></code>,
<code><stdarg.h></code>, and <code><stddef.h></code>; since AMD1, also those in
<code><iso646.h></code>; and in C99, also those in <code><stdbool.h></code> and
<code><stdint.h></code>. In addition, complex types, added in C99, are not
required for freestanding implementations. The standard also defines
two environments for programs, a <dfn>freestanding environment</dfn>,
required of all implementations and which may not have library
facilities beyond those required of freestanding implementations,
where the handling of program startup and termination are
implementation-defined, and a <dfn>hosted environment</dfn>, which is not
required, in which all the library facilities are provided and startup
is through a function <code>int main (void)</code> or <code>int main (int,
char *[])</code>. An OS kernel would be a freestanding environment; a
program using the facilities of an operating system would normally be
in a hosted implementation.
<p>GCC aims towards being usable as a conforming freestanding
implementation, or as the compiler for a conforming hosted
implementation. By default, it will act as the compiler for a hosted
implementation, defining <code>__STDC_HOSTED__</code> as <code>1</code> and
presuming that when the names of ISO C functions are used, they have
the semantics defined in the standard. To make it act as a conforming
freestanding implementation for a freestanding environment, use the
option <code>-ffreestanding</code>; it will then define
<code>__STDC_HOSTED__</code> to <code>0</code> and not make assumptions about the
meanings of function names from the standard library, with exceptions
noted below. To build an OS kernel, you may well still need to make
your own arrangements for linking and startup.
See <a href="C-Dialect-Options.html#C%20Dialect%20Options">Options Controlling C Dialect</a>.
<p>GCC does not provide the library facilities required only of hosted
implementations, nor yet all the facilities required by C99 of
freestanding implementations; to use the facilities of a hosted
environment, you will need to find them elsewhere (for example, in the
GNU C library). See <a href="Standard-Libraries.html#Standard%20Libraries">Standard Libraries</a>.
<p>Most of the compiler support routines used by GCC are present in
<code>libgcc</code>, but there are a few exceptions. GCC requires the
freestanding environment provide <code>memcpy</code>, <code>memmove</code>,
<code>memset</code> and <code>memcmp</code>. Some older ports of GCC are
configured to use the BSD <code>bcopy</code>, <code>bzero</code> and <code>bcmp</code>
functions instead, but this is deprecated for new ports.
Finally, if <code>__builtin_trap</code> is used, and the target does
not implement the <code>trap</code> pattern, then GCC will emit a call
to <code>abort</code>.

<p>There is no formal written standard for Objective-C. The most
authoritative manual is "Object-Oriented Programming and the
Objective-C Language", available at a number of web sites

<p>There is no standard for treelang, which is a sample language front end
for GCC. Its only purpose is as a sample for people wishing to write a
new language for GCC. The language is documented in
<code>gcc/treelang/treelang.texi</code> which can be turned into info or
HTML format.

conformance and compatibility of the Ada compiler.
