I had to draw a line somewhere, and C99 with GNU extensions is where it is. Cleanup attributes and anonymous functions are just too useful to leave behind. And since I'm using clang to develop this, I'm pretty sure it supports nested functions just fine.
Hm. Sounds like they added them --- nested functions certainly weren't supported the last time I looked (because, as you say, they're far too useful, and I hated having to give them up).
Have you had any reports about problems on, e.g., OpenBSD, related to needing an executable stack?
Could be, it's moving fast. Once I realized I could use nested functions to provide anonymous functions and deferred actions with decent syntax in a semi-standardized way, I was hooked :)
Nothing, but I seldom hang around in the BSD crowd these days.
