Not necessarily. The -ansi option switches off any extensions that
conflict with the standard. It also enables trigraphs, a standard
"feature" almost no-one ever uses.

Your chances of writing portable code do increase if you can get it
working with more than one compiler from the start though. And error
messages and warnings from multiple compilers are often more
enlightening than from just one.
