Question About Headers

I want to use VSC++ for programming C. I know C isn't fully support cause the lack of MS deciding not to add the c99 which i believe is stupid. But I was wondering is there a way I can use my own C headers and libraries to build that are c99 and use it with VSC++. I have the Visual Studios Professional version. And change the compiler cause i don't wanna think i spent so much money for this and I can't use it. Cause of this problem.

    well i prefer C of C++ any day. I would like to see all of them. Just cause C++ is better than C. C Programmers should be left out. And I don't feel like using C89 or C95 just the new one. But is there a way to add the c99 of a different compiler and all and use it in VSC++

  • Microsoft2006

    I wish there was some way I could use my own compiler for C and my libraries and headers. But i guess since MS wants users to drop C for C++ or C# i guess ill just have no choice and just give up on C and learn C++ or C#

    well i would like to see <stdbool.h>
    yes i know you can easily do it by doing this instead

    #define TRUE 1
    #define FALSE 0

    unless you can give me a better more reasons i should either start learning C++ or quit learning C using C99. I just don't don't understand why. Just cause aa few programmers that do C should suffer cause a few other C users don't use the c99 standards if you upgrade C++ you should do C also and make use miss out also. Just saying. Well im still learning C right now so i don't fully know the C99 standards. but that was one that I wanted to use in VSC++ if i come up with any others ill post them.

    Much as I would like to say that we fully support C-99 unfortunately we have limited resources and as such we have to target those features that a lot of our users request and at the moment I would say that the requests to implement C++ features way out number the (very few) requests I have seen to support C-99. If I was to tell our C++ users that I was going to spend my time implementing C-99 instead of working on the C++ compiler I would probably be lynched.



  • Joe Conaty

    We fully support C-89 (Classic C) and we would support C-99 if there was enough user requests to support it. But almost all the C programmers I speak to are either 1) not aware of C-99 or 2) are aware of it but are happy with C-89.

    What specific C-99 features do you need The compiler already supports the 2 most commonly requested additions, long long and C++ style comments.



  • RichardM

    No: this is not possible: the debugger that ships as part of Visual C++ will only work with with Microsoft compiler.

    I'll ask again: what specific features of C-99 do you require
