Resources to Write ANSI C Code

The last time I heavily used C was years ago, and it was strictly done on the Windows platform.

Now, I am taking a class where it is required to develop programs to be ANSI C compliant and the code will be compiled using gcc

we a are required to compile the code using: gcc -g -ansi -pedantic -Wall

how can I reproduce this on MSVS2010? I don't like Ubuntu.

Solution

  • If you only dislike Ubuntu, there are other options for using GCC. For example, you can look into MinGW, which is a full set up of gcc and all related tools for windows. There are also a few IDEs, like Eclipse and Code::Blocks which I'm pretty sure ship with a C compiler that you can configure however you need. There are also other linux distributions or the option of mac if you'd like to try those out.
