Hence, I would like to invite you to Amusing. Byt as the infamous author of a much used higher order compiler compiler in C, a linear logic model checker for C, about 4 different user-driven languages that I can recall written in C, ranging from a persistent higher order lazy functional language to a decompiler compiler, and a mathematical logician well known as a programming languages semanticist who has given denotational, operational and logical semantics to many programming, machine and specification languages, etc etc etc, "I don't think so".

"I don't understand the C > standard" is not a GCC problem, so doesn't belong on this mailing Please desist from ad hominen attacks. If you have a problem with my reasoning in any particlar instance, please state it with specificity. From the lack of valid argument, I guess the problem seems to be that the spec has boobooed in this instance.
