noahfecks writes "It seems that the GCC developers are taking steps to roll out significant improvements after CLANG became more competitive. 'Among the highlights to look forward to right now with GCC 4.9 are: The Undefined Behavior Sanitizer has been ported to GCC; Ada and Fortran have seen upgrades; Improved C++14 support; RX100, RX200, and RX600 processor support; and Intel Silvermont hardware support.'"

      How can the compiler be more sparkly?

      Can it compile directly to my 3D printer?

      Does it output rainbows and unicorn farts?

    Most projects don't use C99 anyway.

    So your defense is that gcc users don't use features unimplemented in gcc?

    It's the new C080L.
