I don't understand this rationale. C89 requires that the switch expression be of integral type. For C89 compilers with the long long int extension, a long long int is an integral type, so it should be supported. Are there actual implementations that support long long int but not its use as a switch expression? -- Ben Pfaff email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] web: http://benpfaff.org
