> Is it allowed in FreeBSD? Is all FreeBSD C source code portable? Good question; I don't know the answer. I know that FreeBSD uses inline assembly, rather than seperating out the assembly code into machine-specific compilation units (preferrably with vanilla C equivalents, where possible). I also know that FreeBSD uses ANSI constructs, which make the code non-portable to older compilers, such as those you would have on machines running older OS's that you want to upgrade to running FreeBSD via a port.
