Nested function declarations, not that I ever seen it used.
Inline asembler, but then portability is gone anyway.
And then I have seen code depending on some undefined behaviour, which
not really goes as an extension. This is just crappy coding
practice[0] and not the fault of the compiler. (Who wants to make a
compiler which really gave you random results when the standard says
that the behaviour is undefined. Well of course if undef is a value in
the language...)
