  Well, yes, there's no reason why not, and if the MSVC compiler supplies all
these types built in I don't see why GCC shouldn't do just the same.

  But it doesn't work if the user doesn't include stddef.h, I thought?  So GCC
won't compile code that would compile OOTB on MSVC, or did I misunderstand?
