Re: How to get autoconf to respect CC="gcc -std=c89"?

[Paul Eggert]

Thanks for looking into this.

Some comments.

This doesn't let you say "I want either c89 or c99, but not c11".

Why have this check?

How about something simpler, like replacing this:

m4_map([_AC_PROG_CC_STDC_EDITION_TRY], [[11], [99], [89]])])

with this:

m4_map([_AC_PROG_CC_STDC_EDITION_TRY],
  [m4_default([_AC_C_STANDARD_VERSION_LIST],
     [[11], [99], [89]])])

and not bothering to check for allowed or duplicated version lists?
