Well, as nearly all gcc language extensions, the extension specification is not a formal specification, but more like handwaving ... Rather than restricting the extension, we should consider deprecating it (for C++!) in 4.1 and remove it from 4.2. I see no use for it in C++ code and recent actions were in favor of removing C++ language extensions. Richard.
