I'm sorry, I missed the first part of this thread. Can you provide a small
snippet of code that illustrates this? You say this is explicitly
forbidden from ISO C++ and it is supported anyway by egcs; is there a
warning or compiler flag that prevents someone from inadvertently writing
this non-portable code?
