[cdt-dev] Is -std a common/GNU gcc flag?

[Alex Blewitt <alex.blewitt@xxxxxxxxx>]

I had to add -std=c99 in order to get a for enumeration compiled for  
Objective-C 2.0 (at least, it complained as such) and I'm thinking of  
adding this in as a flag by default for ObjectivEClipse. I've done it  
via the 'miscellaneous' parameters at the moment, but it struck me  
that there's probably some common ground with non-Objective-C projects  
too, and that it's probably a standard Gnu option (not documented as  
APPLE_ONLY in the manpage).

It seems that it can take one of a number of values:

c89
c99
gnu89
gnu99
c++98
gnu++98

as well as a few aliases to the same.

If there's desire to have this in CDT (i.e. it makes sense to change  
this for more than just my nefarious ways) then I'm happy to  
contribute it as a change to the cdt.gnu compiler options. But I'd  
like to know from someone on a non-Darwin system whether this makes  
sense or not?
