Yes but nothing says that you aren't coming GCC with some other compiler, that
might intepret _X as a command to delete the source and launch the missles.
Please change this back to the original X_ or a similar convention that does
not use reserved names.  Just because it happens to work for your example on
the compilers you've tested it against, doesn't make it legal.
