Most of the commonly used parts of C99 have been "safe" to use for 20
years. There were a few bits that MSVC did not implement until
relatively recently, but I think even have caught up now.

IIRC, VLAs and _Complex and similar still don't work in MSVC.
Most of the rest does now at least.

It's only been 25 years. You have to give Microsoft a bit of
time to catch up. I'm sure they will get there by 2099.
Microsoft is never going to catch up because they don't want to
catch up. The choice to offer a sub-standard C compiler is the
result of a business decision, not a technical decision; they
want to steer people away from open environments and towards
their proprietary environments. The world would be a better
place if Microsoft had been broken up in the judgment of the
anti-trust action 20+ years ago. And they certainly deserved
it.
