> Maybe a more practical approach would be to use C99 "except of features not supported by MSVC of Visual Studio 2019"?
This could be formulated in a more neutral way by saying "C99 without the things that became optional in C11", or perhaps "C11 without optional features" (at least from the POV of MSVC, haven't checked the other compilers/platforms for C11-compliance). > In practice, we can try to support VS 2017, the version currently recommended by the devguide: That is becoming dated quickly, as Microsoft has deprecated, and is removing, that version quite rapidly from their CI services (azure/GHA), i.e. mid March, see: https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments/issues/4312. It's understandable in the sense that they don't want to support a third version in addition to vs2022 and vs2019, but the net effect is that very few (open source) projects will keep using vs2017 going forward. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list -- python-dev@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-dev-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-dev.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-dev@python.org/message/IIZ6LXK2MANUHZAMYSXDF5KPF3VIRKDJ/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
