Do you think that we could raise the minimum C standard on WIN32 to C11, at least for MSVC? There is a patch floating around to add pg_attribute_aligned() and perhaps pg_attribute_noreturn() for MSVC: https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/yk6ugcglzkuxr...@paquier.xyz noreturn() needed at least C11: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/c-language/noreturn?view=msvc-140 Perhaps we'd better also bump up the minimum version of MSVC supported.. -- Michael
