Sure I do. I also believed in Apple doing the right thing here :-( Anyway, the only thing I can say in my defense here is that since your example was mixed among pretty funny speculations about executable code being copied to the stack and such I couldn't possible imagine that it came from the docs *verbatim*. Thanks, Roman. P.S. And yes, technically -- it is up to compiler to either have or not have that limitation, since the blocks that you create within a function scope are all *known* to it and can be rearranged at will.
