  32 files. It is based on the <a href="CKitLibrary">CKitLibrary</a>, which is primarily designed
  33 to handle standardized C and thus does not understand many (any?)
  34 compiler extensions; however, it attempts to recover from errors when
  35 seeing unrecognized definitions.</p></div>
  36 <div class="paragraph"><p>In order to work around common gcc extensions, it may be useful to add
  37 <span class="monospaced">-cppopt</span> options to the command line; for example
  38 <span class="monospaced">-cppopt '-D__extension__'</span> may be occasionally useful. Fortunately,
  39 most portable libraries largely avoid the use of these types of
  40 extensions in header files.</p></div>
