Proposed Changes

In SU2/meson.build, specify the version of the C standard used when compiling SU2, as C99. It must be at least C99 because of the for loop initial declarations in externals/cgns/cgnslib.c. (One could probably use a newer C standard as well.)

This change was necessary to compile SU2 on a system where cc is the GCC 4.8.5 (from 2015), which used -std=gnu89 by default.

Related Work

The change was not necessary in v7.1.0. I suppose it has something to do with the recent CGNS updates (#1500, #1507, ...).
