The problem is that we are checking for the latest C assuming only GCC and Clang supports it, but in reality MSVC supports it (on some configurations) too.

The fix is to account for MSVC.

Verified locally that building with clang-cl also works.

Change looks fine to me, though I haven't dug into why the availability differs. If this works, then I guess it's fine.

Since there are other C compilers in the wild, it would be better to check for !defined(_MSC_VER) instead of being specific about GCC and clang.

Hmm you're right. Do you want to open a PR for this?

I created #135987 : can you test it with MSC with /std:clatest?
