-All @code{extern} declarations take effect globally even if they
-are written inside of a function definition. This includes implicit
-declarations of functions.
-
-@item
-The newer keywords @code{typeof}, @code{inline}, @code{signed}, @code{const}
-and @code{volatile} are not recognized. (You can still use the
-alternative keywords such as @code{__typeof__}, @code{__inline__}, and

-Comparisons between pointers and integers are always allowed.
-
-@item
-Integer types @code{unsigned short} and @code{unsigned char} promote

-@item
-Out-of-range floating point literals are not an error.
-
-@item
-Certain constructs which ISO regards as a single invalid preprocessing
-number, such as @samp{0xe-0xd}, are treated as expressions instead.
-
-@item
-String ``constants'' are not necessarily constant; they are stored in
-writable space, and identical looking constants are allocated
-separately. (This is the same as the effect of
-@option{-fwritable-strings}.)
-
-@cindex @code{longjmp} and automatic variables
-@item
-All automatic variables not declared @code{register} are preserved by
-@code{longjmp}. Ordinarily, GNU C follows ISO C: automatic variables
-not declared @code{volatile} may be clobbered.

-@item
-@cindex @samp{\x}
-@cindex @samp{\a}
-@cindex escape sequences, traditional
-The character escape sequences @samp{\x} and @samp{\a} evaluate as the
-literal characters @samp{x} and @samp{a} respectively. Without
-@w{@option{-traditional}}, @samp{\x} is a prefix for the hexadecimal
-representation of a character, and @samp{\a} produces a bell.

-
-You may wish to use @option{-fno-builtin} as well as @option{-traditional}
-if your program uses names that are normally GNU C built-in functions for
-other purposes of its own.
-
-You cannot use @option{-traditional} if you include any header files that
-rely on ISO C features. Some vendors are starting to ship systems with
-ISO C header files and you cannot use @option{-traditional} on such
-systems to compile files that include any system headers.

Writing into string constants is a very bad idea; ``constants'' should
