That's all about C++, except for library functions from C99, offsetof, __func__, and "long long" that are now also part of C++. The point of the article I pointed to is that they only do C90. They have no intention of adding support for newer C standards except for the cases where C++ just happens to be compatible. And the C++11 and C11 atomics are compatible, they just have a slightly different syntax, and as the URL I pointed to says are implemented in it. Also, if you want to use atomics we really want the C11 / C++11 memory model which prevents certain important optimazations.
