Not even GCC fully supports C99 (although I think it does support that keyword when passed -std=c99 or -std=gnu99), and I suspect that a majority of the other compilers for which we would want to add support in the kernel headers would not support C99 or would do a poor job of handling inline functions. But my question still stands. Does anybody actually use any non-GCC compiler for userspace in Linux?
