Almost no use uses it for applications any more and sophisticated

using complex types for example are far better done in C++.

C99 can naturaly do numeric computing that previously was done using
Fortran 77.  Offical C++ has no VMT.  C++ mechanizms look nicer,

 
Officially no, but I've never come across a C++ compiler that didn't support
them given they're all C compilers too.

Name a current one (ie not a cross compiler from the 90s) that isn't.
