From the bug report:
"Currently we disable C99 in the Solaris build by setting -xc99=%none%.
This differs from a lot of other build environments like gcc/Linux or
VS2013/2017 on Windows where C99 features work.
We should remove this difference on Solaris and remove or replace the
setting.
Kim Barrett mentioned :
"I merely mentioned the C++14 work as evidence that removing
-xc99=%none% didn’t appear harmful."
However it will take more time until the C++14 change is in."
I am currently running a test build on our CI build system to confirm
that this does not break the Solaris build (but I'd be highly surprised
if it did). I will not push this until the builds are cleared.
