I dispute that, in the sense that since I didn't explicitly mention a 
version I could have been talking about any sub-set up to or including the 
entire set.

Further, it's general to talk about 'ISO' when referring to c99.  I said 
'ANSI', which is usually taken to refer to the original standard.

And anyway, the important point here is that GDB is not being coded to c99.
