What revision of C is targeted by ROS 2?

REP-2000 is stating that ROS 2 is targeting C++14. What about C? Is it a safe assume that all packages are compiled against C11?

Yes, we use / need C11. I updated the REP accordingly: https://github.com/ros-infrastructure...

Windows doesn't implement C11 (and I don't think they intend to do so).

Awesome! Indeed the reason I was asking this is due to Windows related build issues.

Thomas ( 2019-02-14 18:28:11 -0600 )edit

@Thomas I'd be interested to know what issues you've been having, since I've dealt with a few over the past few years related to C11 and Windows.

@William the PR is here: https://github.com/ros2/rcl/pull/332 (strncpy_s / strncpy incompatibility) - seems like we finally went with memcopy.
