The GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) support for the C23 programming language standard is now considered “essentially feature-complete” with GCC 15. As such they are preparing to enable the C23 language version (using the GNU23 dialect) by default for the C language version of GCC when not otherwise specified.

Preparations are now underway to set the default C language version of GCC to GNU23 as the GNU dialect of C23. Or in other words, implying -std=gnu23 when no other C standard is specified.

    That’s good and all, but we all explicitly pass -std=gnu99 (or -std=c99 if you don’t care about MSYS2 compat) in our build scripts buddy 😉

    Okay, maybe not all all. But you get the idea.

    Are there any relevant projects who use the increasingly C+±infested newer versions of the language?
