I thought that went without saying.

There’s a big range of C compilers between my 4 kWord compiler and GCC.  
Switching to GCC is not always an option.

A great many embedded projects use Keil and IAR C, for example.  As far as I’m 
aware, Keil doesn’t do C11 yet, and IAR didn’t get support for it until earlier 
this year.  

It’s quite common in the embedded space to buy a version of the commercial 
compiler, let the one-year maintenance period expire, and keep using the old 
version rather than pay yearly maintenance.  I’ve heard of embedded projects 
where the compiler is checked into the VCS alongside the source, since they 
intend to never upgrade it.
