What C compiler do you use to compile that 70s code? I find modern compilers usually choke on the "done" C code from then.

You have to feed it a switch or two, but gcc will do it.

Of course, we're talking about pre-ANSI C where any function prototype without a void argument implicitly accepts any and all arguments.

ANSI was 9 years after the 70s. I'm curious about the 70s C code that was "done". My point is that Go may still be in the 70s.
