I agree, but I note that the verb should be in the subjunctive mood. Also, is the word "actual" doing any work here? If <alloca.h> is omitted, does some kind of virtual dependency or weak reference end up in the object file (I'm not an ELF wizard). If so, perhaps the nature of that symbol should be explicitly identified. Thus: [[ is required, lest a symbol dependency be emitted. ]] Regards, Branden
