The language mode command-line options determine how the compiler interprets your source code. You specify one option to identify which language standard your code follows. You can also specify a separate option to specify how strictly the compiler should expect your code to conform to the standard.
Specify one of the following language options to control the language standard that the compiler expects the source to follow. The options are:
Use one of the following options to specify how strictly the code conforms to the standard:
The default is relaxed ANSI/ISO mode. Under relaxed ANSI/ISO mode, the compiler accepts language extensions that could potentially conflict with ANSI/ISO C/C++. Under strict ANSI mode, these language extensions are suppressed so that the compiler will accept all strictly conforming programs. (See Section 5.16.3.)
If you want to link object files created with the TI CodeGen tools with object files generated by other compiler tool chains, the ARM standard specifies that you should define the _AEABI_PORTABILITY_LEVEL preprocessor symbol as follows before #including any standard header files, such as <stdlib.h>.
#define _AEABI_PORTABILITY_LEVEL 1
This definition enables full portability. Defining the symbol to 0 specifies that the "C standard" portability level will be used.
