At the June WG14 meeting, WG14 decided it preferred to keep C23 as the
informal name for the next revision of the C standard, despite
publication not being before 2024 (publication is due in 2024 whether
or not technical changes at the January meeting result in an FDIS
ballot being needed). At the Cauldron I raised the question of
whether we should thus now add option names such as -std=c23 to GCC,
and there was support for doing so.
Add -std=c23, making -std=c2x a deprecated alias; also add the alias
-std=iso9899:2024. Likewise, add -std=gnu23, making -std=gnu2x a
deprecated alias, and add -Wc11-c23-compat, making -Wc11-c2x-compat a
deprecated alias.
Here, I'm generally just adding the new options and making the minimum
changes required to do so, with documentation changed to refer to C23
instead of C2X only where directly associated with documentation of
these options. It's intended that future changes will update
documentation, diagnostics, comments, variable names, testcase names,
etc. to refer consistently to C23. When such changes are made, the
new tests c23-opts-3.c, c23-opts-5.c and gnu23-opts-2.c are intended
to keep using the old option names they are specifically testing,
while other tests would start using the c23/gnu23 versions of the
names (as well as the tests themselves being renamed).
Updating option names is independent of updating to the final
__STDC_VERSION__ value. There, the question is whether we should
update the value now or wait for the remaining significant features to
be implemented first. (I intend to review Martin's tag compatibility
patches for GCC 14. I'm not aware of anyone working on #embed - or on
the [[unsequenced]] and [[reproducible]] attributes, though support
for standard attributes is optional.)
Bootstrapped with no regressions for x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.
