Enable C89 support about printf

[eyalroz]

The library is currently written with C99 assumed. What would it take to make it compile as C89? Apart from the comment style change?

Also, do the C compiler on vxWorks 6.x really not support C99?

its default option didn't support for double line comment

its default option didn't support for double line comment

And with a non-default option?

Also, there are many other changes which would be necessary to make the library C89-compliant. Specifically, we would need to not use long long and avoid mixing declarations and code. How come the vxWorks compiler accepts it then?

Currently only use block line comment is enough. long long is supported

The header is present, it's just the header with -ansi option

So, what you're asking is not C89 support, nor C90 support. Perhaps we can accommodate your compiler by some kind of CMakeLists.txt check, that would add an appropriate flag for // comment support?

Yeap, it's a -ansi option. I've seen a lot more compiling warning, I think achieve that would receive broader usage

I think you've misread what I've written. The -ansi option, at least with compilers such as clang and gcc, does not add support for anything; it is essentially equivalent to -std=c90, which contradicts std=c99, and restricts rather than relaxing constraints.

At any rate, it remains unclear to me what you are asking and for purpose.
