long discussion and long testing with existing code bases.
 

Default input dialect of C language was changed (it seems, to gnu17)
before gcc14. May be, in gcc12.
BTW, finding out what dialect is a defaul is less than trivial. If Bart
calls it "jump through a number of hoops" he would at least correct,
but more like understating his case.
