One thing I forgot to mention in my tagged union proposal -- the identifier "self" would have to be allowed in the discriminant expression if typed-page or similar schemes are to be implementable. Also, "tag" is not a good name, since it already means something with respect to unions; "discriminant" is too wordy; so in the time-honored C tradition of crypticism, how about "disc"? -- Tim Maroney, The Censored Hacker mcnc!unc!tim (USENET), tim.unc@csnet-relay (ARPA) All opinions expressed herein are completely my own, so don't go assuming that anyone else at UNC feels the same way.
