One facet of the proposed ANSI standard that is difficult to verify is re-entrant functions. The proposed ANSI standard requires that all functions have the possibility of being re-entrant. This means that the calling convention must be re-entrant. This applies to functions of any return types. The various ANSI C compliance test suites cannot check for this in a deterministic manner. //// Anthony Scian afscian@violet.uwaterloo.ca afscian@violet.waterloo.edu //// "I can't believe the news today, I can't close my eyes and make it go away" -U2
