-pedantic
        Issue all the warnings demanded by strict ANSI standard C; 
reject all programs  that  use
        forbidden extensions.
        Valid  ANSI  standard  C  programs  should  compile  properly 
with or without this option
        (though a rare few will require `-ansi').  However, without this 
option, certain GNU  ex­
        tensions  and  traditional  C features are supported as well.  
With this option, they are
        rejected.  There is no reason to use this option; it exists only 
to satisfy pedants.
        `-pedantic' does not cause warning messages for use of the 
alternate keywords whose names
        begin and end with `__'.  Pedantic warnings are also disabled in 
the expression that fol­
        lows __extension__.  However, only system header files should 
use  these  escape  routes;
        application programs should avoid them.

-pedantic-errors
        Like `-pedantic', except that errors are produced rather than 
warnings.
