One of the most often "arguments" against C99 in this group is that
"There is no embedded system support", etc.
A typical message is this one of "gwowen":

That is a typical post. Well, if you care to investigate those claims
a bit you find immediately that they are completely WRONG. I cared to
go to Green Hills Software web site and there I found this statement from

Standards and Reliability
The Green Hills compiler was the first compiler for embedded systems to achieve 100% conformance to
ANSI/ISO standards for C and C++. In addition, the new compiler supports the latest C99
specification and the latest MISRA C standard. The Green Hills compilers are tested against industry
standard validation suites, including Plum Hall, and are also tested against the industry’s most
proven and extensive regression test suite.

That version was out in 2007!!!!
How can this guy tell us that "there is no C99 support" in Green Hills
compilers?
