The difference is that if there are there, you get consistent behavior across all compilers that support them. MSVC was essentially stuck with pre-C99 for a long time. So nobody in their right mind would use it for C programming if he had a choice. Now they are catching up. Let's see how this goes. We made variably modified types mandatory in C23. I hope we make VLAs mandatory again in the next revision.
