Hi,

I am expecting a error (redefinition of "a") from
following piece of code. But gcc (3.4.2) doesnot give
any error.
/////////////////
int a;
char b;
int a;

void foo(void)
{
return;
}
/////////////////
Instead, if we try initialising "a" at BOTH the
places, then it gives error.
VC++ gives this error anyway.


VC++ is a C++ compiler, where the above is an error
gcc is a C compiler, where the above is not an error
