I’ve been studying the GCC source code and I noticed that most (if not all) target-specific source code files (like arm.c for example) use the old K&R function style.
Is there any particular reason for this? Backward compatibility? Portability?
So that you can compile gcc on a system with non-GNU, and potentially really old, compiler, to just get a better compiler on this very system.
