template functions appear to erase the effect of the __extension__ keyword inside their definitions, 
causing "-ansi -pedantic" to produce an error instead of a warning.

Compiling the following code with "-ansi -pedantic" produces an error for the line in the template 
function, but not the ordinary function. 

% g++ -c -ansi -pedantic foo.cpp
foo.cpp: In function âint template_function(int) [with T = void]â:
foo.cpp:15:   instantiated from here
foo.cpp:11: error: ISO C++ forbids variable-size array

int ordinary_function(int dimension)
{
    __extension__ int data[dimension];
    return 0;
}

template<typename T>
int template_function(int dimension)
{
    __extension__ int data[dimension];
    return 0;
}

template int template_function<void>(int);
