Back on topic: do you actually have trouble with invoking flex/yacc* to generate code \
or do you have a problem with the generated (C99) code (what seems to be a pretty new \
problem - and is on Linux/any distro because KF5 does --std=c90)?

Or was this just a general "Hey, there's a world beyond Linux" remark?

You also may have some (personal, at least) data on relevant MSVC 2013 is in \
practice? Because every gcc in the wild as well as clang should be able to handle C99 \
- and so should MSVC 2015 and the intel compiler(s of the past). Afaics, MSVC 2013 is \
the deal breaker here; but no warranty on that statement...

Cheers,
Thomas

* other than "install it" - Windows doesn't come with a compiler by default either.
