What portability do you need, specifically, beyond C99?

  A lot of compilers for embedded systems are still C89 (with a few architecture-specific extensions).

    Which systems, specifically?

  Until recently, even MSVC was C89. I believe they only added some C99 features because the C++11 standard required them (in VS2013, I believe), and full C99 support only came with VS2015.

    Yep, their focus is on C++ compatibility. They have changed their view regarding C, but the actual work is customer driven. https://www.reddit.com/r/cpp/comments/75q5wc/visual_studio_2017_version_154_released/ https://www.reddit.com/r/cpp/comments/75q5wc/visual_studio_2...
