Not overwhelmingly, but mostly because quite a few of the features introduced in C99 aren't that necessary in embedded systems. Well, the inttypes.h thing helped a little, and so did snprintf, but IIRC many of these things were already available in various compilers, just not part of the standard? I've seen folks developing for the 8051 (yes, it has not died yet, that thing is worse than Jesus!) in a bastardized ANSI C as recently as August this year. I don't know about C11. Alignment specification sounds like something we could use sometimes, and the bounds-checking interfaces may make things less painful to debug on devices with little user I/O. -- Weland Treebark, Wandering Philosopher and Engineer
