[cfe-dev] Finding List of C Extensions Used by GNU89

[Richard Smith]

>From include/clang/Frontend/LangStandards.def:

LANGSTANDARD(c89, "c89",
             "ISO C 1990",
             C89 | ImplicitInt)

LANGSTANDARD(gnu89, "gnu89",
             "ISO C 1990 with GNU extensions",
             LineComment | C89 | Digraphs | GNUMode | ImplicitInt)

So... -std=gnu89 adds:
 - BCPL // comments
 - C94 / C++ digraphs <: etc
 - things enabled by GNUMode -- grep the code for GNUMode to find those;
they are:
   - predefined macros without surrounding __ (use -dM -E to see them)
   - GNU keywords without __s: inline, asm, typeof
   - trigraphs disabled
   - don't define __STDC_VERSION__ nor __STRICT_ANSI__
   - enables special token-pasting rule for ", ## __VA_ARGS__" with empty
args (note, this is always enabled outside of c99 modes anyway, since
__VA_ARGS__ is an extension there)
   - allow main to return something other than 'int'
   - some cases allowing foldable non-constant expressions in places where
a constant expression is required
