Implementation-Defined Behavior [A]

functions declared in standard headers or predefined macros with names that

do not begin with an underscore. The Standard’s description of each extension
is followed by a definition of any Silicon Graphics support/nonsupport of each
common extension.

A.16.1 Environment Arguments (F.5.1)

• In a hosted environment, the main function receives a third argument,
char *envp[], that points to a null-terminated array of pointers to char.
Each of these pointers points to a string that provides information about
the environment for this execution of the process (2.1.2.1.1).
This extension is supported.

A.16.2 Specialized Identifiers

• Characters other than the underscore _, letters, and digits, that are not
defined in the required source character set (such as dollar sign $, or
characters in national character sets) can appear in an identifier.
If the -dollar option is given to cc, then the dollar sign ($) is allowed in
identifiers.

A.16.3 Lengths and Cases of Identifiers

• All characters in identifiers (with or without external linkage) are
significant and case distinctions are observed (3.1.2).
All characters are significant. Case distinctions are observed.

A.16.4 Scopes of Identifiers (F.5.4)

• A function identifier, or the identifier of an object (the declaration of
which contains the keyword extern) has file scope.
This is true of the compiler when invoked with cc -cckr (that is, when
requesting traditional C). When compiling in ANSI mode (by default or with
one of the ANSI options) function identifiers (and all other identifiers) have
block scope when declared at block level.
