I'm sorry. This is one point where I stick. Exim is written in ANSI C
(see under "Limitations"). The standard is getting on for 10 years old
now, and I really did feel when I started on Exim that the time had come
to draw a line.
Having said that, I seem to recall that on DEC's OSF system you have to
say something to the compiler to get it to recognize standard C, but it
can be made to do so. Something like -std I think.
