   I have two implementations of cfront 2.0, Guidelines (for dos) and Intek
(unix); both provide an "a+" option to generate "ansi c" output as opposed to
the default K&R; so I assume its part of the AT&T product. However, when
presented with a class ala

   class foo {
   public:
      foo();
      ~foo();
   };

what is emitted for the destructor is a proto of the form


   void __dt__3fooFv(struct foo *__0this, int );
                                          ^^^^?

the only "ansi c" compiler I have available to me (Microsoft C 6.0) chokes on
this. Which has the bug, the cfront(s) or MSC?

(The ansi mode is importantant to me because MSC wont convert functions like
memcpy, etc., into their intrinsic form with a K&R style proto)
