C11 added many features for modern software (multitasking support, etc).
C11 vs. C99 Compiler Features
- VLAs optional: Yay, do not need to implement
- anonymous struct nesting: Anyone care?
- _Generic macros: Anyone care?
- _Noreturn: Please don't use
- alignment specs: Anyone care?
- _Static_assert: Anyone care?
C11 vs. C99 Standard Library Features
Library features, not compiler, so not blocking tcc v1...
- threads.h: Who cares? Multitasking in C99 with pthreads.h
- stdatomic.h: Nice for multiprocessing, what is status for tcc?
- uchar.h: Just say no to Unicode, use UTF-8
- stdio.h gets() removed: yes, should use gets_s instead

Let's say C99 should be covered indeed, 25 years in the making, but C11
shouldn't be ditched.

Full C99 or C11 support ? C11 is safer and more "up to date" :

Hence C11 should be getting way more prevalent in the existing source code out
there :
C99 is the version of C standard which is preferred by the suckless
movement. I think that the current main goal of tcc development should
be focused on full support for C99. Core values behind tcc -
simplicity, efficiency and frugality in software - are shared with the
suckless movement, so having a simple, fast and efficient complete C99
compiler would benefit the community more than diverting attention to
the simultaneous development of C11 features.
