Wellll, "old" (pre-4.0) QNX C has:

@ and -} operators for extra-segment access, and

long foo = 'ABCD';
short bar = 'AB';

and it lets you get away with non-Ascii characters in strings, which
I have seen used for non-English language support.

But if you stick to the standard subset you should be all right.
