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!
