The usual example site is, you guessed it, MIT :-) You might be
surprised at how non-ANSI the decmips ultrix cc is (it is the *only*
reason for the separate NPROTOTYPE macros...) Sorry Tom, but I
wouldn't miss that collection of atrocities.
I used to care that there were some sites/platforms that didn't have a
good ANSI compiler. I don't any more :-) Sunos native cc is
non-ANSI, which is where I usually notice things. We used to have one
customer who insisted on being able to use that compiler... but I
don't think we care about that either, anymore.
