I don't think so, I was wondering from the print man page a few months
ago, as it was vague on this, and I had a look, it does seem to be C99.
Dinkumware, which I'd be inclined to trust, says:

 %zu       size_t x                (size_t)x                10     1
added with C99

As a general rule, is C99 supposed to be encouraged or discouraged in VLC ?
I saw a comment in one of the files that said (paraphrased): // TODO:
get rid of C99isms
