There is no Microsoft C compiler that fully supports C99, and I 
don't think there are even any plans for same.  Neither does any 
version of gcc fully support C99.

Last time I checked (on comp.lang.c) there was only one compiler 
that does so, namely the Comeau one.

Look at http://gcc.gnu.org/c99status.html

In my view it's perfectly fine to insist on C90, but dangerous to 
depend on C99 -- the latter is a de jure standard with no real de 
facto implementation.
