I just did that on dromedary, with a stanza like this at the bottom:

if ($branch eq 'HEAD' or $branch ge 'REL_12')
{
        $conf{config_env}->{CC} = 'ccache gcc -std=c99';
}
else
{
        $conf{config_env}->{CC} = 'ccache gcc -ansi';
}

  1. Remove test for VA_ARGS, implied by C99.

  2. Introduce minimal C99 usage to verify compiler support.

  3. Require C99 (and thus MSCV 2013 upwards).

  4. Require a C99-compliant snprintf(), and remove related workarounds.

  5. Try to enable C99 in configure, but do not rely on it (yet).

  6. Make snprintf.c follow the C99 standard for snprintf's result value.

  7. Clean up assorted misuses of snprintf()'s result value.
