Introducing a new, advanced Visual C++ code optimizer

Since VS2013 some useful and popular C99 language features are supported. And then there's Clang/C2 but it can't be used via command-line yet.

Their standard library (besides being intentionally not fully compliant) is missing some C11 features though. I guess we have to wait at least for C++17:

Not all of them, and today is 2016, important C11 feature, like _Generic still not supported. And it would be awesome, if MSVC will support GNU extensions, like Clang does. For now I recommend to use clang-cl wrapper: http://clang.llvm.org/docs/MSVCCompatibility.html

For Visual C++ only to the extent as required by the C++ standard.

Clang/C2 is exactly the path for those that still care about C on Windows.
