C ADD ADD

I'm trying to become an expert programmer but in every book I have tried to use, the example code never works with modern compilers.
Has anyone else has this problem?
What the fuck is this?

At this point, GCC strives to be complete as opposed to focused. It's fine to recommend GCC when you need to get jobs done. Of course, if you need something specfic, then maybe something else could be recommended.

The guy is coding out of a fucking book, not making real time targeting logic for smart bombs.
