Whether this should be fixed by revising the documentation or changing the code is a good question. /* * sizeof is supposed to be semantically an integer constant. It's not, * in the V7 compiler: its type is always "unsigned", which an integer * constant never is. */ #define BIG 20000 /* 40000 / sizeof(int) */ int foo[BIG]; main() { printf("%D == %D (!)\n", 40000, sizeof(foo)); } ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
