C99 compliant, perhaps. Strict ANSI compliant on the other hand... not even
close. C99 allows for all sorts of stupidities, most of which have no place=
 in
the kernel IMO.

As a good practice, try building w/ -Werror -ansi to your CFLAGS and see how
compliant your code is. (large portions of the kernel fail with this, but t=
hat
doesn't make it "clean" or "proper").
