Mingw-w64 C versions support?

What versions of C does minigw-w64 support? It uses msvcrt.dll so wouldn't it only support ANSI C? But then i see programs like VLC use it but say that they require C11. How is this possible?

EDIT: Some sources: How to printf a size_t without warning in mingw-w64 gcc 7.1?

MinGW uses msvcrt.dll, but integrates it where needed to support newer/fixed features, in some cases providing complete reimplementations of some functions (e.g. you can opt-in for GNU printf/scanf). Such extras are either linked statically, or provided into a separate dll (mingw1.dll, IIRC).
