RE: [GD-General] The joy of type aliasing and C

[Simon O'C. <si...@sc...>]

There's some interesting discussion about VC++ standards compliance =
here:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/chats/vstudio/vstudio_022703.asp=20

"Q: Follow-up on the C99 "varargs" question, what, if anything, from C99
will we see in the future from VC

A: In general, we have seen little demand for many C99 features. Some
features have more demand than others, and we will consider them in =
future
releases provided they are compatible with C++. It is more likely we'll
entertain C99 features if they are picked up in the next version of the =
C++
standard."

/html
/vcrefwhatsnewlibrariesvisualc70.asp

"Because the timing of the release of C99, this version of Visual C++ is =
not
conformant with that standard."=20


There aren't many other references to C99 compliance on MSDN, so they =
aren't
even really claiming partial conformance. Probably have to wait for =
Whidbey
for stdint.h and inttypes.h.
