Actually, for large projects it helps a lot.
Ok, I give up. Perhaps I should have said 'required' rather than
'useful'. I write a lot of VHDL, and I use named association much more
frequently than positional association (ie. the same thing). I don't do
this in C/C++, because it's not in C++; it won't compile on a C++ compiler.
NGspice also uses // comments, which are not in standard C. I
would not be surprised if it requires gcc to compile.
Also new in C99. I think pretty much everybody supports C99, so I'd go
for it (and '//' comments were also commonly supported long before C99).
C99 also has various major improvements on C89/C94 but, IMHO, you need
to be careful that you don't use anything that's not also in C++. And,
again IMHO, C++ is vastly more usable than any C.
