The most useful GCC options and extensions

I was definitely not expecting an article about useful GCC options to mention -trigraphs. The -ansi option isn't particularly useful either, imo, since just about every interesting program is going to do something crazy like open a network socket or list the files in a directory.

By far the most useful gcc extension wasn't mentioned at all. typeof().

I mentioned trigraphs as an example of a C standard feature disabled by default in GCC, and then I just mentioned how to enable just that feature. It wasn't supposed to be included among the most important options, it just got there ;-).
