As a C user who's been waiting 12 years for MSVC to implement C99, I had to sardonically laugh when I read this. They don't even let you declare variables in the middle of a block!
Ironically the excuse they always give is that their customers want them to dedicate more of their time to C++11, not C: http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/345360/visual-c-should-support-c99 http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/3...
- chadaustin 15y agoHonestly, that's probably right. I have no data, but I'd predict the number of C++11 programmers on Windows to dwarf C99 programmers.
- haberman 15y agoI wasn't disputing that, I was just pointing out that OP was complaining about lack of C++11 support in Visual Studio compared to gcc and clang, but this is even more unfortunate considering the Visual Studio team has indicated that they prioritize C++11 support above other things.
