For MSVC not supporting C99 it compiles just fine with C99 features in use:

I do not plan to stop or reverting C99 features we already use in cmocka. We
are already past that point since some years. Also 20 years to adopt C99 is
enough time.

If you require C89 then might be good idea to use a different unit testing
framework.
As I said I will not move backwards as we use C99 feature since years already.
