C++ is not a superset of C[0]. If you want to use MSVC and newer features, then you're not writing C anymore; you're just writing an awkward C++ program.

Nope, I'm definitely writing C99, but it just so happens that MSVC is happy enough pretending it's C++.

Definitely writing C99 in that I compile the exact same source files with -std=c99 -Wall -pedantic when using a real C compiler.
