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++.
