We started working on this project using Visual Studio 2013 RC and made the finishing touches the moment the final release got out.

A lot of C99 was added but yes unfortunately %zu still has not yet been implemented .

A more detailed list of things added can be found on the following link: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vcblog/archive/2013/07/19/c99-library-support-in-visual-studio-2013.aspx .

Kind Regards,
Alin.

I think the team here has been using VS2012.
