Compiling the sample program CFLOW.C with language extensions disables
results in the following errors:
cflow.c(4) : error C2086: 'size_t' : redefinition
cflow.c(934) : error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'c'
The Microsoft extensions to C can be disabled by compiling with
the option /Za (enforce ANSI compatibility) or, when in QuickC,
clearing the X from the Language Extensions check box in the Compile
dialog box.
The C2086 error occurs because both CFLOW.C and STDIO.H have the following:
typedef unsigned int size_t;
Redefinition of a typedef is a language extension. This information is
stated in the "Microsoft C Optimizing Compiler User's Guide" on Page
100.
The C2061 error occurs on the line
static int near c;
because the keyword "near" is an extension to C, and so is understood
by the compiler to be the simple identifier being defined, leaving the
now-surplus "c" to be flagged as syntactically incorrect. This
information is documented in the user's guide on Page 99.
