> Key: PROTON-2208
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PROTON-2208
> Project: Qpid Proton
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: proton-c
> Reporter: Andrew Stitcher
> Assignee: Andrew Stitcher
> Priority: Major
>
> The current language supposedly supported for clients by proton-c is C89. The current language allowed for implementing proton-c is the common subset of C89 and C++03. This was to support Visual Studio which at the time didn't support enough C99.
> This led to significant build complexity so we can build proton-c as C++ on Visual Studio.
> Since Visual Studio 2013/2015, Visual Studio has had sufficient C99 support to compile proton.
> It would allow us to significantly simplify the build process, library usage and ongoing code maintenance requirements if we only supported VS2015 and later (or if necessary VS2013 - VS2015 would be better as it has C library compatibility changes). Stripping the complex build hacks and header file hacks that support earlier Visual Studio compilers.
