However, if you actually want to write a portable application *and* support non-GNU compilers which may support a special target or is optimized (think: Intel's compilers) ... most C compiler implementations are pretty much surprise-free, vs. many C++ compiler implementations that yield the most interesting (read: annoying as hell) bugs in the most unusual of edge case situations.
