Jan 6, 2017 · By default, the Visual C++ compiler treats all files that end in .c as C source code, and all files that end in .cpp as C++ source code.

Jan 29, 2018 · @Lee Daniel Crocker: False on all accounts. Visual Studio has always had a dedicated C compiler. Modern Visual Studio C compiler is a highly respected C compiler with C99 support. Overwhelming majority of desktop C and C++ development for all target platforms today is done in Visual Studio under Windows. –

Feb 22, 2010 · In those cases, build succeeded but executables not generated. Adding new c source file to the project will display the c/c++ category, but if you remove the source file from the project, then c/c++ category will go away again. It was not .vcxproj file problem. I think for some reason, VS failed to recognize the source as a c source file.

Apr 27, 2012 · Visual Studio or Express do consider .c files as C code, but the compiler will keep giving warnings, and irritating suggestions which you do not require, in the debugger. Gives an indication that Visual C++, as the name suggests is optimized for C++ development for the Windows Operating system, which was originally written in plain pure C.

Feb 22, 2008 · As for C99 only partly included in Visual Studio, I guess this is a question of priorities. Most interesting C99 features are already present in C++ (inlining, variable declaration anywhere, // comments, etc.) and probably already usable in C in Visual Studio (If only doing C code within the C++ compiler).
