Historically the C99 support by MS was quite bad. Fortunately VS 2017 has good (not 100%) C99 support.

Worse than bad: if I recall correctly, there was no C99 support at all until MS VS 2013. Before that you had to compile C as C++ in order to get C99-like features.
To the extent required by ISO C++14, with ISO C++17 requiring C11 library compliance.

If is after all called Visual C++.
