    Erm, well, that's up to you. There's no reason not to.

    I agree. It is not worth incompatibility with C89 just to save a few keystrokes.

If they do, I ask them to find the smallest example that exhibits the problem and send me that. Mostly, they then find the error themselves. "Finding the smallest program that demonstrates the error" is a powerful debugging tool.

    I don't understand why I need compatibility with C89. If I'm not going to work with old code or move to a system that doesn't handle C99, isn't it better to use the newest language?
