This compiler is in full compliance with the C99 standard on Solaris platforms when you specify -xc99=all,lib—Xc.

This compiler also conforms with the ISO/IEC 9899:1990, Programming Languages- C standard.

Because the compiler also supports traditional K&R C (Kernighan and Ritchie, or pre-ANSI C), it can ease your migration to ISO C.
