Does Microsoft visual studio 2010 support c99?

Question

I would like to know if Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 supports C99. If not, how can I use the standard types like intptr_t and uintptr_t?

Answer 1

As far as I can tell, Visual Studio 2010 does not support C99. To use types from stdint.h, you will have to use a typedef. A cross-platform way to do this would be:

#ifdef _WIN32
typedef signed short int16_t
#else
#include 
#endif
