We are working with the vc team to test the c99 (c++11/14 as well) with many oss softwares, php included (non core ext). It could be possible to use c99 from a vc pov but not if we decide to release php-next next year. However with the yearly vc release, we could make it for Q4/2015. > Breaking something without a real reason is not a good move. I agree with you here.
