Well, IIRC C99 became an ISO standard only in 2004 or so.
Not really. From what I recall it was called C9X when it was being
developed, and after ratification by ISO, has come to be known as C99.
Maybe not 1999, but pretty close to that frame.
I don't think any of the mainstream compilers fully support C99
That was the case a year or two back. I am not aware of the current scenairo.
what is the status of GCC?
http://gcc.gnu.org/c99status.html
Are there any applications that use the features of C99 yet?
Plenty. Any C program that uses // comments is using a c99 feature
:-) A lot of the GCC extensions are now official C features (with
minor tweaks to syntax/semantics). Like for example zero length
arrays.
