Good day anons,
Recently discovered this board and was immediately intrigued.
I've been programming using C99 for the last year, writing a assembler for my custom cpu arch. Has been one of the most informative experiences, learned a great deal about C in that time (but of course still have long to go).
My question in particular is about GCC 2.95.
What happened?
What paradigm shift occurred that caused the fear of the undefined?
The gnu changelog doesn't mention anything particularly pozzed:
https://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/gcc-2.95/features.html
Also noticed LFS documentation (albeit dated) that mentioned "that the kernel developers have certified GCC-2.95.3 as the preferred compiler for compiling the [linux] kernel".

Thanks for reading anons.
