Mike, you wrote "GNU C", not "ISO C". There's no spec for the former.

He said we can do anything, this is untrue. I rail against the casual use of the word because it misleads others into believing it, and then proposing patches that do anything they want, and yet make gcc worse. I realize there that we have no documentation person that writes down everything religiously and that from time to time, people that should write documentation, don't. I'm just as guilty (or more so) as everyone else. Realize, some consider that just a simple documentation bug, not an opportunity to go messing with a fine compiler.
