Support the current standard for the C programming language, C11

[Wolfgang]

LabWindows/CVI lags behind the more recent developments in its programming language, C. At present, it only partially supports the C99 standard, not to mention the improved Unicode support of the current standard, C11.

Since odds are that Unicode finally will be supported in a future version of LabWindows/CVI, this might be a good opportunity to also ask for support of the current standard of CVI's programming language, C11, allowing the use of UTF encoded strings and also including updated libraries (e.g., supporting complex or long long) and debugging tools (data tooltips and variable view supporting complex numbers, for example). It also would help to improve C/C++ compatibility for programs that use complex floating-point values.

I really would appreciate it if the LabWindows/CVI project will show some strong signs of development and accompany us for the next 30 years, too.

Any news from NI on this important idea?

The development of new and modern projects using CVI has become almost impossible 😤

Years passed by, and in the meanwhile, the current standard is C17

I gave this idea kudo but the title should be now: "Support the current standard for the C programming language, C17".
