I'm sure, but gtk+ is using C89, which is already a good improvement
over ANSI C.

anyway, I very much doubt that the compilers landscape changed since the
last discussion on this list, so it's quite pointless to discuss a
switch now.

you can already write applications in C99; using it in gtk+ doesn't buy
us much and would make it impossible for gtk+ itself to be compiled on
some supported platforms.
