The following is valid C99 code:

int main( void )

if (b)
printf("hello world\n");

char c = 5;
printf("%hhd\n", c);

int size = INT_MAX / 10000;
printf("%d\n", size);
char a[size];
a[0] = 'a';
a[1] = 'b';
a[2] = '\0';
printf("%s\n", (char *)&a);

return 0;
}

The above C99 code can be compiled on VC++, by just commenting the 2nd
line (see below!)

In other words, by making it valid C++ and invalid C99.

What's your point?

My point is:
Maby the difference between VC++ in C++ mode and C99 is marginal.
(In the example above, only the header is not known in the current VC+
+ (but bool is supported anyway))

And maby this difference will get even smaller, if VC++ adopts (or
conforms more closely to) newer C++ standards.
