Support C99

[quote]C99 is almost 10 years old. Many projects are beginning to rely on C99, and dropping Windows support as a result.[/quote]

[quote]Thanks for taking the time to send us your suggestion. Currently, there are no plans to implement C99 support in VS2010. Once we complete this product cycle, we will be reviewing all customer suggestions, including this one, for our future planning.

Thanks,

Most even recommend C90 over C99 for no apparent better reason than "compiler support".
The humor here comes from the fact that out of all C compilers still in development, only MSVC lacks C99 support in this day and age. Even TinyCC supports most of C99. Features like compound literals are very nice to have. The other joke comes from how MSVC supports C++, which allows // comments and mixed declarations and code, but doesn't allow these features, which were part of the C standard for 12 years, to be used in C mode.
