I totally agree with this.
One of the problems I have having in configure is that OpenGL on
Ubuntu 10.10 uses a lot of long long types and consequently displays
errors as there are no compatible types in parrot. I know there has
been discussion to move this out, but it needs resolution.
I don't know if MSVC allows C++ type comments (//) (it should of
course, but who knows), but that is a minor issue. As I understand
it, MSVC is the main reason we have not moved to the C99 standard
long ago, so yes any subset that it understands, should be
incorporated.
I don't know if any other C compilers that are needed to build
parrot are restricted to C89, Sun/Oracle? - can anyone clarify this.
Metrowerks C 2.4.1 (for classic Mac OS) supports C++ line comments and
long long. Library functions aren't a major issue, since anything
missing can be written.
