C++98 came before C99, so who diverged from whom?
You seem to not not how the C++ standard was made. In fact, it come
before C99, like it or not. The intention was that C++ would come up
with a follow on standard that tracked C99, in next revision, as the
98 revision just didn't allow for it time wise.
It is entirely reasonable to pressfit those aspects of C99 that makes
sense in the confines of the C++ standard, into C++. long long is my
favorite example of this. We wanted to do it, but, the C99 standard
wasn't done enough for our tastes.
