If you want some fun, try guessing what the `correct' output should be
for the following C++ code accepted without warning from G++.  Then
compile and execute it with G++ and check your work.

----------------------------------------
#include <stdio.h>

int *frob(int k)
{
  static int N[2] = {k, k};
  return N;
}

main ()
{
  int i;
  
  for (i = 5; i < 10; i++)
    printf ("i = %d\n", frob(i)[1]);
}
----------------------------------------

cfront 2.0 complains:

"yow.c", line 13: sorry, not implemented: local name k in initializer for static

I think I like the G++ solution, although it is not clear exactly what
the `official' output should be.
