My argument is that the entire Standard must be conformed to, whether or not an application happens to actually use #pragma, thus #pragma cannot change the semantics that rest of the Standard specifies. ....

I haven't been that hip to C standards discussions (only about a month of watching the group and such), so I apologize if this is an old discussion come back from the dead. cheers -- Keith H.
