Not properly, certainly. In fact, it is possible to write a program that
cannot be correct under both standards, and there's no good way of
detecting which standard you're using.
One such problem, solved by a horrid hack is:
printf("I use C%s style comments\n",2//**/2
-1?"++":"");
For the other consider what happens when you want to print out a "long
long" as introduced by the C99 standard.
This is, of course, OT for fwp
