I thought we were talking about C++ (my first clue was the subject of
the thread and your mention of "GNU C++")

Throughout your reply you only refer to C, which I'm not qualified or
interested enough to comment on.

I'm very interested in making G++ conform to the C++ standard as well
as possible and only objected to the assertion that G++ users don't
care about writing standard C++.
