Why is it called a C Compiler if it's a subset of C?

- perching_aix 7mo agoWhy is your visceral reaction is to frame it as a quest for truth versus a great suppression of truth? Everything alright up there? Literal second sentence in the article, in case it wasn't incredibly obvious to people anyways: > It supports a subset of C that is large enough to write real and interesting programs. I'm all for more boring headlines, but this characterization is ridiculous.
- userbinator 7mo agoI've had enough of headlines that overpromise and underdeliver. It's essentially false advertising. It's not like the word "subset" would put it over the length limit.
