Trouble is, Doug, if you ever use anyone else's code, you won't have that option. Is that 2nd edition K&R actually *on the market*, with the noalias issue still leading to a prospect of significant change? Does Dewey defeat Truman? Mark Brader, utzoo!sq!msb, msb@sq.com C unions never strike!

With "noalias" relegated to footnotes, it wouldn't be a big deal if noalias vanished; it would just provide another item for recurring trivia questions in this newsgroup.
