The old standard is identical in this respect. Changing something in such an
important area would cause lots of problems for old software.

C99 support is definitely in the works. cc65 will never support the full C99
standard, because it requires things that are absolutely overtuned for an 8
bit system (like the "long long" data type with at least 64 bits, the complex
data type and so on). But there are lots of features in the current version
that are actually C99 and not C89:
- // style comments
- Open arrays
- Several header files: iso646.h, stdbool.h, stdint.h, ...
- The _Pragma operator, __func__ reserved identifier, ...
- Some additional functions: isblank, ...
- ...
Some more stuff will come over time. For example, the existing _printf
implentation was designed with vsnprintf and friends in mind, so adding them
is easy.
