I can't find my link on the command line length issue at the moment, but |
| 11 |
I remember a setting for the command line length in bytes that needed to |
| 12 |
be changed in order for some projects to be build with a lot of files. I |
| 13 |
remember needing to put a very high number (coming close to 64k) for |
| 14 |
openscenegraph, for example. |

The code above has kept me busy a while, too. The syntax above |
| 29 |
(initializing an array statically with one statement) is a GNU C |
| 30 |
Compiler extension and not part of the C99 standard. I have played with |
| 31 |
the --pedantic option of gcc and figured that there is a lot of apps |
| 32 |
that use the one or the other GNU extension. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Most of the extensions are documented here: |
| 35 |
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.1.2/gcc/index.html#Top |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
For sed I found at the time of my tries (2 months back) that only the |
| 38 |
latest version makes use of the GNU C Extensions, while the previous |
| 39 |
version does not. |
