- Nursie 12y agoThat's good to hear, and maybe we can finally move on to more universal use of a 14 year old standard!
- krbbltr 12y agoMaybe by Microsoft's definition of 'most'. * no variable-length arrays * no qualifiers in parameter array declarators (`int x[static 10]`, etc.) * no `restrict` keyword * no compound literals * no designated initializers There's probably more. On the web you'll find the same quote copy & pasted over and over saying that support for compound literals and designated initializers was supposedly added in VS2013, but it does not appear to be true. Either that, or I haven't found the hidden switch to enable it. By the way, C code still needs to be compiled as C++ to get anything beyond C89 to work, which should give you a clue as to how serious Microsoft is about C99. What's true though is that stdbool.h was added. It's a start, I guess...
