That's what I've ended up with. But there are logo requirements concerning this stuff, it seems...

The ISO Standards Committees were spitting feathers over Microsoft when they did this, and were thinking of declaring the resulting compilers to be not C (or not C++, as appropriate).

The Microsoft C/C++ compiler for Win32 only implements C95, which of course is no longer standard C. For Win64 it defines size_t and ptrdiff_t as aliases for types that don't exist in C95 (or C++98), do it doesn't support any version of the standard languages.

I doubt that, unless they've recently changed. Logo requirements are generally about such things as running with normal user rights, not breaking Terminal Services, and so on. The "deprecation" actually refers to Microsoft's internal coding standard; this bug report indicates the message and warning level have been revised (http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?FeedbackID=101187).
