Phoronix: GCC Preparing To Set C23 "GNU23" As Default C Language Version

The GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) support for the C23 programming language standard is now considered "essentially feature-complete" with GCC 15. As such they are preparing to enable the C23 language version (using the GNU23 dialect) by default for the C language version of GCC when not otherwise specified...

Maybe before I die it'll be common to use #embed in the wild.

I did the following google search, What does "#embeded" do in C programing
and it returned nothing germane to this preprocessor directive. What does it do if you don't mind me asking?

People need to learn how to use Google again.

Meanwhile, Linux kernel still stuck with C89.

Please don't. I waste so much time removing c23'isms already

Meanwhile, Linux kernel still stuck with C89.

They moved to C11 over two years ago for version 5.18. https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-Kernel-C89-To-C11

For embed it's that or either xxd (small files only), per-architecture assembly, or per-compiler linker settings.

They allow not require, there is a big difference.

This clearly says C11: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/late...-language.html
This says GCC 5.1 minimum: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/late...s/changes.html
GCC 5.1 was when C11 was considered complete and suitable as the default. The kernel does not support compiling less than C11. You'll need to provide references saying otherwise.
