Summary: Your compiler is wrong


As far as I can see, your example as posted was correct. I tried it on a
4.2BSD and SysIII systems, and both thought it was fine. Microsoft C loved it!
It's valid by both K&R and X3J11 (proposed). Either your compiler is being
silly, or perhaps you have a glitch in the source code. Assuming that you
can't compile the fragment as posted, I would complain.

---------------- < disclamer > ----------------
I don't usually bother, but this is a special case. The opinion expressed is
my personal opinion, and is not an official statement of my alter-ego, the
former GE representative to X3J11. It may not be the official position of my
company and/or its affiliates.
