- Bcc:
Hi group,
GCC doesn't seem to honor the C90 standard for type casting
Consider following test case :
--/cygdrive/d/tests-->cat -n lval.c
1 int main()
2 {
3 char c;
4 (int)c += 4;
5 }
--/cygdrive/d/tests-->
As per C90 standard - section 6.3.4 - "Cast operators" states that
44 "A Casts does not yield an lvalue."
Shouldn't gcc flash error as "l-value" required for statement #4 ?
I tried -ansi, -std=c9x explictly but gcc didn't flash the
expected error ?
Did I miss anything ?
Aha .. GCC version info : here it is !
--/cygdrive/d/tests-->gcc -v
