+Use of C language extensions throughout the X server tree
+---------------------------------------------------------
+
+Optional extensions:
+The server will still build if your toolchain does not support these
+extensions, although the results may not be optimal.
+
+ * _X_SENTINEL(x): member x of the passed structure must be NULL, e.g.:
+ void parseOptions(Option *options _X_SENTINEL(0));
+ parseOptions("foo", "bar", NULL); /* this is OK */
+ parseOptions("foo", "bar", "baz"); /* this is not */
+ This definition comes from Xfuncproto.h in the core
+ protocol headers.
+ * _X_ATTRIBUTE_PRINTF(x, y): This function has printf-like semantics;
+ check the format string when built with
+ -Wformat (gcc) or similar.
+ * _X_EXPORT: this function should appear in symbol tables.
+ * _X_HIDDEN: this function should not appear in the _dynamic_ symbol
+ table.
+ * _X_INTERNAL: like _X_HIDDEN, but attempt to ensure that this function
+ is never called from another module.
+ * _X_INLINE: inline this functon if possible (generally obeyed unless
+ disabling optimisations).
+ * _X_DEPRECATED: warn on use of this function.
+
+Mandatory extensions:
+The server will not build if your toolchain does not support these extensions.
+
+ * named initialisers: explicitly initialising structure members, e.g.:
+ struct foo bar = { .baz = quux, .brian = "dog" };
+ * variadic macros: macros with a variable number of arguments, e.g.:
+ #define DebugF(x, ...) /**/
+ * interleaved code and declarations: { foo = TRUE; int bar; do_stuff(); }
+
+
+Use of OS and library facilities throughout the X server tree
+-------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Non-OS-dependent code can assume facilities at least as good as
+the non-OS-facility parts of POSIX-1.2001. Ideally this would
+be C99, but even gcc+glibc doesn't implement that yet.
+
+Unix-like systems are assumed to be at least as good as UNIX03.
+
+Linux systems must be at least 2.4 or later. As a practical matter
+though, 2.4 kernels never receive any testing. Use 2.6 already.
+
+TODO: Solaris.
+
+TODO: *BSD.
+
+Code that needs to be portable to Windows should be careful to,
+well, be portable. Note that there are two Windows ports, cygwin and
+mingw. Cygwin is more or less like Linux, but mingw is a bit more
+restrictive. TODO: document which versions of Windows we actually care
+about.
+
+OSX support is generally limited to the most recent version. Currently
+that means 10.5.
