It's certainly possible, it is intrinsically a C++ compiler after all. The issue is that it's C++ but not C99. So it amounts to cherry-picking C99 features and not being able to require compliance, baseline, or rely on other features. There may be some issues with the /ZA ANSI flag, too. They just lack general C99 support. That has been one of the motivations for baselining C89 first because everything supports it, pretty much uniformly across all compilers and platforms. Cheers!
