In article <161@mole-end.UUCP>, mat@mole-end.UUCP (Mark A Terribile) asks
about the legality of the following:

	class	My_buf
	{
	  public:
		const int size;
		char *const buffer;

		My_buf( int );
	};

	My_buf::My_buf( int sz )
		: size( sz ), buffer( new char[ sz ] )
	{}

He points out that his version of cfront generates bad C code.

Well, he's right -- it's a cfront bug.  It'll work in 2.0.
