Standard question

[Bill Cunningham]

I think I have a standard question here. ISO or ANSI. Some of the developers
on this site have shown me code in this form

int name(int x,y);

Now my compiler just will not accept that. It has to be
int name (int x,int y);

Is my compiler a C99 compiler?

developers on this site have shown me code in this form

What site ?

int name(int x,y);

AFAIK, this is incorrect C.

Now my compiler just will not accept that. It has to be
int name (int x,int y);

Sounds correct to me.

Is my compiler a C99 compiler?

No, its just a C compiler. The first form is illegal.

Are you sure you weren't perhaps shown this:

int name(x, y)
int x,y;
{
...
}

which is and old-style ("K&R", or Classic) C construct grandfathered in to
even the current standard?

I don't think so. I've never written source like that. I don't think I'd
recognize it especially if it's classic k&r.

Just a shot in the dark. That's about the only declaration-related place I
could think of that something structured like that /might/ be legal...

Nope, you don't. You have a plain C question and any decent C book
provides the answer.

Some of the developers
on this site have shown me code in this form

int name(int x,y);

Now my compiler just will not accept that. It has to be
int name (int x,int y);

Is my compiler a C99 compiler?

Dunno. All I know for sure is that you're too lazy to bother opening a
C book before posting here.
