- Not unless it comes with libraries. :-)
-
- The better question to ask may be whether the combination of the
- unbundled compiler sold by Sun *for* Solaris 2.x (it's not sold *with*
- Solaris 2.x, which is why it's called "unbundled", and why some people
- are ticked off at Sun), and the libraries and include files that come
- *with* Solaris 2.x (you have to install some particular package, whose
- name I don't remember, from the Solaris 2.x distribution, to get them),
- is fully ANSI-compliant.
-
- I think the answer is "that combination is supposed to be
- ANSI-compliant, and probably is, modulo bugs and differing
- interpretations of the standard".
