No they were pretty clear that it is only what is required by C++ standard, and some high profile customers.

There was a C9 interview about it, need to search for it.

Could not find the interview video, but this was another one I remembered have watched:

Starting at 00:18:40, note the "not an intent to conform to C99/C11".

FFMpeg was one of the customers

Out of curiosity, who are MSVCs high profile customers?

They didn't mentioned on the interview.

If I recall correctly it was at a Visual Studio event last year, on those floor interviews they publish with the teams on C9.

Adobe is almost certainly one:

There's probably quite a few internal-only users of Visual C++ too.

EDIT: Well, they're a high-profile user of Visual C++, I have no idea if they require C99 support but they ship a Mac version so it's possible.

One of them was FFMpeg, from the video I digged out.
