Re: Syntax Code Compiled Incorrectly

["Mike Black" <mblack@csi-inc.com>]

I can tell you that your program does not compile on gcc 2.95.3
But it does compile on gcc 3.1
I tried checking gcc.gnu.org but my queries would never finish.
I suspect it was a bug that has been fixed.  A google search shows others with the same problem up to gcc 3.0.
