If we start compiling pixman in C99 mode by default, then this will make

Do we still need to care about C89 compatibility issues? C99 is 16 years old
now, it's about time to rely on it.
Have you actually checked the links to the bugreports in the mailing
list archive that I have given to you?
Yes.
We did have to care about C89 compatibility in 2013, as can be seen
based on the feedback from the real users. And maybe still do even now.
I wasn't asking about 2013, I was asking if maybe we don't still need to now.
I know Microsoft's C compiler was a holdout for a long time, but thought it
finally got most of C99 brought in since it was required for C++11 support.
