Question

I’m using VS 2010. I have changed the settings for compiler C code instead of C++. It works fine, but the problem is MS compilers don’t supports C99 standard,for this reason I’m looking for a C compiler that can works with VS 10. How to do this? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

MS visual studio don’t support c99, however they have implemented certain features of c99.

From this Microsoft page, their reply for c99 support:

Question by a user:

“I would like to see C99 support available in Visual Studio. The
amount of work to add C99 support should pale in comparison to C++0x.

As the compiler for the dominant PC platform, Microsoft should really
try harder to implement a standard that’s over 10 years old —
especially because the C community is arguably larger than the C# or
C++ community.”

Microsoft’s reply:

“Unfortunately 1) There are many, many more users of the Microsoft C++
compiler than there are of the C compiler; 2) Anytime we do customers
discussion and/or solicit feedback the overwhelming response is that
we should focus on C++ (especially at the moment C++-0x); 3) We just
don’t have the resources to do everything we would like. So while we
are slowly improving our C-99 support (and we are active in the C-1x
discussions) I can’t promise we’ll add any of these features.”
