[edit] GCC/C99
On what grounds did you conclude that GCC don't intend to eventually implement all of C99? Based on the status page, it seems they are quite close to full compliance even now. Neilc 02:35, 28 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- People having opinions like that expressed in the following comp.lang.c post tend to agree with my impression that progress towards C99 compliance isn't much of a priority. However, diffing the GCC 3.0 and GCC 3.4 shows that there is some steady progress, although it isn't very fast. I admit that this may be more an opinion than a fact and invite you, if you think that my contribution to the article doesn't respect NPOV, to revert it. Homer Jay 17:35, 2004 Oct 28 (UTC)

- I don't think it's accurate to say "full C99 compliance doesn't seem to be a short-term goal" based on the comment of some person on Usenet, who may or may not be informed about the goals of the GCC developers. It may not be a high priority, I'll grant you. But in the absence of any definitive information on the matter (i.e. a statement on the subject by one or more individuals from the GCC Steering Committee), I think we shouldn't speculate about the goals of the GCC folks. Hence, I've reverted your comment. Neilc 09:01, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Robert Pershing Wadlow
You could place Wadlow's height information to table format to make it clearer; currently it is bit of a mess. - Skysmith 12:19, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] The Trenches
Are you the same Homer Jay that's been posting on The Trenches AfD? I'd just like to know. The Kinslayer 17:49, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
- No, that wasn't me. I usually have better spelling than that :-). Homer Jay 00:14, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
