 Posted: Tue Mar 13, 2007 3:03 am Post subject: Vanilla ANSI C headers wanted |
 |
|
I'm working on this compiler/libc suite. It's a bit antiquated and the headers
badly need reworking to be brought up to date and to separate out the
platform-specific stuff from the platform-independent stuff.
Does anyone know where I can find a set of minimal ANSI headers that I can use
as a reference? (I'm also wanting Posix, too, but that can wait for now. As
well as being off-topic.) My usual source for this kind of thing --- the C
development kit for the BSD operating systems --- isn't really terribly useful
because the ANSI, Posix and platform-specific headers are all jumbled together
and it's not terribly clear which is which.

I am not really sure what a "vanilla" set of C headers would be, since
they must contain a large number of implementation-specific values.
Consider <limits.h>, <float.h>, and <stdio.h>, if not others, even
among the C90 headers. They all contain macros with values that are
not specified by the C standard, although certain limitations are
specified for some.
The most vanilla way, I suppose, would be to go through the
environment and library section of the standard, whatever version you
want to work with. All of the required function prototypes for each
header are there, as well as description of the macros and type
definitions that must be incorporated.

Why not take your BSD headers, and run them through the C preprocessor
with __STDC__ defined? In theory that should omit everything which is
not ANSI.
You can then do something similar but with _POSIX_C_SOURCE defined to
get the Posix stuff.
