I think that CPython is supposed to compile on non-mainstream compilers too (e.g. vendor-specific compilers on embedded platforms). While those are likely to support C99, they may not have caught up with C11. > C11 has support for thread locals, static asserts, and anonymous structs > and unions. All useful features. Native (fast!) thread locals are definitely useful. The other ones you're listing are syntactic sugar.
