VLC uses anonymous unions and atomic operations which are not found in 
C99. So strictly speaking, VLC requires C11 with the following 
specifics:
- hosted implementation,
- atomics support,
- VLAs support,
- CHAR_BIT=8,
- POSIX-sized int (i.e. at least 32-bits).
...on top of my head. The list is non-exhaustive.

Regardless, typical C99 compilers will work through non-standard 
extensions. On the other hand, VLC cannot be compiled in a pure ISO C 
environment. It requires POSIX or Win32 API.

Not sure what the status is for C++.
