It's got to be a simple question if I can get the whole thing into the subject line! For those who missed the subject line, I'd like to know if this is legal: void f (int i) { return (void) i; } // Ron Guilmette (rfg@ics.uci.edu) // C++ Entomologist // Motto: If it sticks, force it. If it breaks, it needed replacing anyway.
