I've encountered no problem compiling SQLite header files as C11. The OP encountered a problem compiling SQLite itself as C89 because there was a C99 construct his compiler didn't support. The fix was to "update" the code to conform to a 17-year old standard. I wondered aloud what system still exists that supports only C89. On review of this thread, there is indeed one such compiler in widespread use: Microsoft Visual Studio.[1] Despite the fact that the Windows API is defined in terms of C, Microsoft evidently and probably correctly has decided its market does not demand a modern C compiler. Last year there was much rejoicing when Microsoft decided to bundle SQLite with Windows. That leaves me with a new question: if SQLite announced its intention to move to C11 in 2018, would that perhaps influence Microsoft's timeline to update its compiler? --jkl [1] https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh409293.aspx#ISO%20C/C++%20Standards%20Support _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@mailinglists.sqlite.org http://mailinglists.sqlite.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
