It would help if they would just declare it unmaintained. Maybe projects would give up on sticking to a 20 year old C standard just to maintain compatibility with MSVC.
- rossy 13y agoI wish these projects would just switch to MinGW. VLC and FFmpeg already use MinGW to target Windows. It's fast, stable and it lets them use nice C99 features like designated initalizers.
- gecko 13y agoDesignated initializers are (thankfully) among the subset of C99 that is actually getting added in the next MSVC release.
- rossy 13y agoYeah, VS2013 looks like a step in the right direction. I probably won't use it myself since I prefer FOSS development tools, but it will be a huge win for interoperability. I hope they implement enough C99 for big projects like FFmpeg to work.
