Jochen Arndt answer is almost spot on. The only thing I would add is on many compilers they have command line flags you can use to set the standard of C you want or need.

On GCC compilers for example it's the -std flag .... -std=c89 makes it compile with c89 standard etc. On visual studio it's under the compiler settings options on your project settings.

So if you have old code you know the standard it was written with you can just ask the compiler to use that standard. Really old code you can basically guess is going to be C89 and selecting that will remove many of the warnings and errors that won't be accepted by the newer standards.

The newer standards stop some old coding styles that were considered dangerous either from the programmer making a mistake or hackers exploiting with things like buffer overruns. The newer standards also have some new features in the language the old syntax won't understand.

So if you are writing new code you should write to the newest standard your compiler accepts. If you just need to compile an old code just change the compiler standard back to what you need or else you must correct the code to the newer standard. On large code libraries that can be a daunting task and so usually you take the standard change option.
In vino veritas
