[$] Modern C for Fedora (and the world)

It can be instructive to pull down the dog-eared copy of the first edition
of The C Programming Language that many of us still have on our
bookshelves; the language has changed considerably since that book was
published. Many 'features' of early C have been left behind, usually for
good reasons, but there is still a lot of code in the wild that is still
using those features. A concerted effort is being made in both the Fedora
and GCC communities to fix that old code and enable some new errors in the
GCC 14 release (which is in
stage 3 of its development cycle and likely to be released by
mid-2024), but a fair amount of work remains to be done.
