- what version of VC++ has proper C99 support and when
did it come out
On Microsoft's page on the C Run-Time Library Reference for Visual
Studio .NET, they include this at the end of the first section:
"This version of Visual C++ is not conformant with the C99 standard."
I've checked a few things here and there, and I think one thing that
surprised me was that .c files under DevStudio didn't have some C99
features, while C++ files did. Their support seems quite strange and
scattered. Off hand I can't find references I'd hit on msdn as far as
details, but one of the things I recall is a lack of stdint.h.
Also, it appears that through 2003 the position of the VC++ team was
that there's almost zero customer demand for C99 support, so they
were only going to pick up a few features here and there, but not more.
- is VC++6.0 something wide-spread that needs to be supported?
(if yes, why and for how long?)
I think things need to be checked, but VC++7.x might be the shift to
VC++.NET. If so, then there's a bit more reason people could be
sticking with it.
