Are there many users that can not support any C99 features?
I think the the relevant question is which C99 features, not the whole
feature set. For example, I would like to use named initializers for
structures as they make code more maintainable and easier to read:
C89:
struct foo bar;
memset(&bar, 0, sizeof bar);
bar.name = value;
C99:
struct foo bar = {.name = value};
gcc has supported this feature for ages already..
