Hi,

   The following short program does not compile under g++ 1.27.
However, I believe that it is valid ANSI-C, and it works under both
gcc and AT&T's CC 1.2.1.  After all, a[i] is *obviously* equivalent to
i[a] ;-)...

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

main ( int argc, char **argv ) {
   for ( ; *argv; argv++) {
      int i;
      for ( i = 0; i [ *argv ]; i++ ) {
         putchar( i [ *argv ] );
      }
      putchar( '\n' );
   }
}
----------------------------------------

The compiler diagnostic is:

----------------------------------------
g++ version 1.27.0
