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

Visual Studio 2010 does not support C99 syntax. stdint.h is a very common file in all C/C++ compilers, though, which does exist in a Visual C++ 10.0 installation, included with the Windows SDK (regardless of the version of Visual Studio that you use).

stdint.h can be found in:

• C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\include\

This file does provide a typedef for intptr_t. Feel free to use it in any C or C++ project you like.
