Ok..actually the gcc compiler did not like it much
:)...I accept that the current behaviour is unintrusive and is reasonable.
Any idea if which compilers actually accept such input? I am trying to
find out what underlying support exists so that our product can behave
accordingly..I am thinking now that the best way for us is to also be unintrusive.
thanks,
