--- Comment #6 from Jonathan Wakely <redi at gcc dot gnu.org> 2011-03-24 09:29:28 UTC --- Also, GCC 4.1.2 is ancient and not supported here, you should either report bugs to the vendor of your version (Red Hat) or refer to a supported version. As for being disrespectful, the bug was invalid and I know that for a fact, which is why I didn't wait for you to agree. You don't need to reopen the bug in order to post a new comment if you'd like pointers to the relevant pieces of the standard or the code.
