The Visual C++ IDE runs the cl.exe Microsoft compiler.

As to which standard of C compiler it is using, my guess is it's probably a C90 or C95 compiler, only because, from memory, the Visual C++ IDE dates back to the mid/late nineties. To get a more accurate date look in the About box.

But remember, like Microsoft compilers of today, Microsoft does like to create compilers that are not always fully compliant with the standard, so there may be differences.
