This forum is provided to promote discussion amongst students enrolled in CITS3002 Computer Networks.

Please consider offering answers and suggestions to help other students! And if you fix a problem by following a suggestion here, it would be great if other interested students could see a short "Great, fixed it!" followup message. How do I ask a good question?

Chris is away until 4th June. Dr Atif Mansoor is the unit's coordinator until then.

Your question is not really about compilers, but about language standards or dialects: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-13.2.0/gcc/Standards.html#C-Language If needing to use -std=gnu11, rather than just -std=c11 (gcc's current default is -std=gnu17) you must be selecting some additional features provided by GNU that may not, portably, be available in other environments. I'm interested to know what extra features your project requires, provided by -gnu11 but not standard C, (as some other teams may benefit from them, too) ?
