== C89 vs C99 ==
I have a suggestion: generally, don't convert C89 to C99 code. Compatibility aside, GCC sometimes does weird things in C99 mode. On my machine, for the second C entry, the current C99 code runtime is about twice as long as that of the old C89 (GCC 4.7, both with <code>-O -msse -lm</code>), even though they really shouldn't differ. ICC (intel) doesn't have this problem, so it's definintely GCC, but still, GCC is the more available compiler out there. --[[User:Ledrug|Ledrug]] 20:36, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
