which leads to the following code being well-formed and well-defined
in both C89 and C99 but having different semantics...
#include <stdio.h>
int
main(void)
{
int a, b, c;
a = 10;
b = 2;
c = a //* oops! */
-b;
switch (c) {
case 8:
printf("C99 or C++\n");
break;
case -5:
printf("C89\n");
break;
default:
printf("can't happen\n");
break;
}
return 0;
}
This is actually documented in the C99 rationale.
