Well of course the name "pedantic" quite deliberately expresses the opposite
viewpoint. In the case of GNAT, you get strictly the standard language (with
allowable pragma/attribute extensions), and if you want real language extensions
you have to use an option -gnatX.
But for C, the general philosophy of GCC has been to encourage the use of
GNU C extensions, and there is probably no point in rediscussing that viewpoint
since nothing has really changed.
