Banned C standard library functions in Git source code

I don't know what to tell you. Do you think all compilers should implement all GCC proprietary extensions, basically creating a parallel C standard?

And that's not saying that GCC extensions are not useful, but they should not be considered the norm

Agreed. But I wonder if we already have a sort of parallel C standard already with POSIX (of course the parts about C, not about OS facilities).
