Do you recall the basis for such a position?
No, only that I remember seeing a discussion about it, most likely on comp.std.c so most likely not about POSIX, and before C11. I can't find any trace in my own archives, and asking the goog about comp.std.c turns up tons of rubbish about comp.std.c++, and I don't see anything obvious in the standard either. But of course it would only be an interesting proposition for comp.std.c if it weren't obvious :-) Could also be that I'm thinking of something else entirely. So, in the absence of further information, never mind I guess... -- David A. Holland dholl...@netbsd.org
