Well in general there is old K&R style C, ANSI style C, and
gcc C extensions.
You will run into K&R and ANSI style C in case of FreeBSD
Here is some K&R:
static int
mmrw(dev, uio, flags)
dev_t dev;
struct uio *uio;
int flags;
{
register int o;
register u_int c, v;
u_int poolsize;
register struct iovec *iov;
int error = 0;
caddr_t buf = NULL;
while (uio->uio_resid > 0 && error == 0) {
iov = uio->uio_iov;
if (iov->iov_len == 0) {

I am not sure if there are any gcc specific features used
in the code.
Possibly inline assembler would come to mind, that would be
gcc specific syntax. But as far as I know the assembler code
in FreeBSD is put into separate .S files.
What I have seen are certain adjustment (extrac braces) to
make sure it compiles with gcc.
Guess you have to look at the code yourself.

Marc
