As far as I know, Emacs should also work like that.  Last time I
checked -- at least my somewhat-edited copy of the sources -- I think
the main problem with c99 was varargs things like `error'.  There were
also problems with argument conversions due to K&R declarations of
functions with `char' arguments which rms didn't want #ifdefs for, but
which I think I fixed locally.  None of this should be an issue now
Emacs is allowed to make the same c89 assumptions as gnulib, so it can
use stdargs and typed parameter lists &c if someone does the work.
