I don't think it is bad or good really to do so. I am not sure anyone would want
to use that specific feature of C99 if they use a lot of different compilers.
The only standard feature of C99 I have used extensively is stdbool.h and
although I haven't seen the file, I believe it is just typedef enum { false=0,
true=1 } bool; . Easy to fix for any compilers that don't support it while
variable length arrays if you use it is something not so easy to fix.
