How do I enable C11 standard in Visual Studio 2019? It is not listed under C++ standards, I have there C14, C17 only.

I tried C11 code and it throwed error and I googled - it is because VS 19 doesn't fully support C11. And didn't find anything other which would be useful.

Please help!

    Hi,

    According to the Doc: Install C11 and C17 support in Visual Studio

    Support for C11 and C17 standards is available starting in Visual Studio 2019 version 16.8. Support requires an updated Universal C Runtime (UCRT) and the latest Windows SDK updates, to work properly with the conforming preprocessor (/Zc:preprocessor).

    As far as I'm concerned, you could try to download the installer the latest Windows SDK. You could download the latest Windows 10 SDK from the Windows 10 SDK page. And then follow the steps to install the Windows 10 SDK.

    It is not listed under C++ standards, and it is listed under C language standard.
