MSVC doesn't support neither of things you mentioned. Which causes us a lot of grieve whenever we port some code to windows. By default gcc supports those, but using -pedantic will cause a warning -- the best compromise IMO -- people will still be able to compile that, but they will be informed that they should not commit such code.
