[comp.sys.hp] ANSI C support in HP-UX 7.0

fkittred@bbn.com (Fletcher Kittredge) (11/14/89)

Can anyone tell me what level of ANSI support will be available in
HP-UX 7.0?  I am particularly interested in function prototypes and
stdarg variable argument handling.

regards,
fletcher

The C compiler on HP-UX 7.0 for the s800's (only) will be a full
implementation of the Dec'88 ANSI C draft document (it's not yet a
standard, folks).

On the s300's, you'll have to wait for a later release (an announcement
will be made).

Regarding stdarg, you can use "varargs.h" for the moment. (I don't know if
I misunderstood your question - do you need stdarg specifically, or will
any supported method of doing variadic args do for you?).
