There are bigger problems than that. The Microsoft compiler still doesn't support large chunks of the 1999 ISO C Standard.
Seriously? OK, well that's news to me.
Yes, seriously: http://www.mega-nerd.com/erikd/Blog/Windiots/ms_c99.html That list is not complete, just what I felt was stuff that was hard to do without. The lack of a standards conforming snpirntf is particlularly painful.
I was under the impression that practically all C compilers in existence support the same set of features. (Although I'm sure each one probably has a few non-standard additions too.)
With the GNU compilers (and I suspect most other) the non-standard features can be switched off. For the GNU compilers -std=c99 or -std=c89 allows the user to pick which standard they are compiling to.
