Comment (by NewEraCracker):

 Hello,
 Unfortunately C99 is not supported by Visual Studio 2010.

 Is it possible for you to revert this?

 For example, the following code from address.c in common dir will not
 compile:

 tor_assert(addr);
 sa_family_t v_family = tor_addr_family(addr);
  ^ v_family needs to be declared before function call.

 struct in_addr in_tmp = { .s_addr = 0 };
  ^ a c89 way to do this is to use { 0 } instead, it is equivalent to a
 memset but shouldn't cause much problem here.

 static char nil_bytes[16] = { [0]=0,0,0,0, 0,0,0,0, 0,0,0,0, 0,0,0,0 };
  ^ there are 16 elements in that array, and 16 zeros declared, why using
 [0]= ?

 Regards,
 NewEraCracker
