known to work. Fish has not been coded with an C99- or GNU-specific
features in mind, so it is hoped that it should be possible to make
fish work with other compilers. Patches are welcome.
Fish is developed using GCC, with the goal of using only C89 language
features. Fish does, however use the *wprintf family of functions,
which are new to the C99 standrard. It is not unlikely that any given
release contains a few GCC:isms, but ICC 9.0.030 has been found to
produce working binaries. GCC 2.95.* won't compile fish, but GCC 3.2.3
is known to work. Patches to fix any remaining GNU:isms are welcome.
Older versions of Doxygen has bugs in the man-page generation which
cause the builtin help to render incorrectly. Doxygen 1.2.14 is known
