Well in GCC 7 the default was -std=gnu11 and in GCC 8 it changed to -std=gnu17, which also happened to be new. How about this? +<h3 id="c">C</h3> + <ul> + <li>New options <code>-std=c17</code>, to select support for the 2018 + edition of the ISO C standard, and <code>-std=gnu17</code>, for C17 + with GNU extensions.</li> + <li>The default mode has been changed to <code>-std=gnu17</code>.</li> + </ul> Should it say 2017 to avoid confusion, even though it was published as 9899:2018?
