Traditionally, DPDK has never specified a minimum C standard used either
in DPDK builds or for applications using DPDK. Following discussion
on-list about C standards, this RFC attempts to start the process of
codifying what our standards expectations are. No code changes are made
by this RFC, instead only the build parameters are changed to explicitly
specify:
* C99 standard is used to build DPDK itself. This is supported by all
supported compiler versions of GCC and Clang.
* The headers are checked for compatibility with gcc89 standard, which
was the default standard used by the oldest supported version of GCC.
DPDK headers do not build with the official C89 standard, and, to the
best of my knowledge, have never done so.
