Hi,

FWIW, Independent of meson, I don't think support for VC 2015 in postgres is
long for the world. Later versions of msvc have increased the C standard
compliance a fair bit... It's also a few years out of normal support.

I've not tested building with 2015, but I don't know of anything that should
prevent building with meson with it.  I am fairly sure that it can't build
tab-complete.c, but you're presumably not building with tab completion support
anyway?

Greetings,

Andres Freund
