    Relevant: implementation in g++ and in visual c++ Commented Oct 10, 2012 at 3:48

    @piCookie both <filename> and "filename" search for implementation-defined places. So what is the difference ? Commented Feb 4, 2013 at 3:45

    @Stefan, I'm just quoting the standard which does not say anything about INCLUDE_PATH. Your implementation may do that, and mine may not. The original question was generically C and not specifically gcc (which I don't think uses INCLUDE_PATH) or Microsoft C (which I think does) or any other, so it can not be answered generically but instead each implementation's documentation must be referenced.

    As with all of these situations, concrete examples (especially of common scenarios) are greatly useful and equally appreciated. Needlessly obtuse generic answers don't have as much practical use. Commented Apr 29, 2014 at 17:51
