[net.unix-wizards] v7 C Compiler

I think it's just rediculous that this compiler doesn't print warning
messages about unknown size.  Unless I'm confused, it either knows the
size of an object in which case it does the right thing, or it doesn't
in which case it silently slips in a 0.  Why not print a warning message
and THEN slip in the 0?

	Screwed one too many times,

i've never known the v7 c compiler to "slip in a 0".
do you mean in [] array sizes?  could you be more specific?
