+/* GNU formerly extended the scanf functions with modified format
+   specifiers %as, %aS, and %a[...] that allocate a buffer for the
+   input using malloc.  This extension conflicts with ISO C99, which
+   defines %a as a standalone format specifier that reads a floating-
+   point number; moreover, POSIX.1-2008 provides the same feature
+   using the modifier letter 'm' instead (%ms, %mS, %m[...]).
+
+   We now follow C99 unless GNU extensions are active and the compiler
+   is specifically in C89 or C++98 mode (strict or not).  For
+   instance, with GCC, -std=gnu11 will have C99-compliant scanf with
+   or without -D_GNU_SOURCE, but -std=c89 -D_GNU_SOURCE will have the
+   old extension.  */
