<pre>This is an FYI bug. I gave a quick pass to try to build JavaScriptCore (I don't need all of WebKit, but I think all of WebKit has the same problem) with Visual Studio 2015 Update 2. It doesn't compile.
So the biggest "problem" I see is that Microsoft finally fixed their broken compiler to support a bunch of C99 things they have dragged their feet on for a decade. So things like snprintf I think finally exist. But the problem is that there are a lot of workarounds to redefine this missing functions for Visual Studio which result in duplicate definitions now and break the compile.
I think the solution is to start looking for the #if _MSC_VER cases and explicitly compare for < 1900 when it looks like it is a C/C++ language/standard-library workaround for Visual Studio.</pre>
