ANSI vs POSIX
Developers should learn about ANSI standards when working with cross-platform compatibility, especially in C/C++ programming, database systems, or terminal/console applications meets developers should learn posix when working on cross-platform software, especially for unix/linux environments, as it provides a consistent programming interface that reduces porting efforts. Here's our take.
ANSI
Developers should learn about ANSI standards when working with cross-platform compatibility, especially in C/C++ programming, database systems, or terminal/console applications
ANSI
Nice PickDevelopers should learn about ANSI standards when working with cross-platform compatibility, especially in C/C++ programming, database systems, or terminal/console applications
Pros
- +For example, adhering to ANSI C ensures code portability across different compilers and operating systems, while ANSI SQL knowledge is crucial for writing database queries that work across various database management systems like PostgreSQL, MySQL, or SQL Server
- +Related to: c-programming, sql
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
POSIX
Developers should learn POSIX when working on cross-platform software, especially for Unix/Linux environments, as it provides a consistent programming interface that reduces porting efforts
Pros
- +It is essential for system programming, shell scripting, and developing applications that need to run on multiple Unix-like operating systems, such as Linux, macOS, and BSD variants
- +Related to: unix, linux
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use ANSI if: You want for example, adhering to ansi c ensures code portability across different compilers and operating systems, while ansi sql knowledge is crucial for writing database queries that work across various database management systems like postgresql, mysql, or sql server and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use POSIX if: You prioritize it is essential for system programming, shell scripting, and developing applications that need to run on multiple unix-like operating systems, such as linux, macos, and bsd variants over what ANSI offers.
