Well the | regulars know and act accordingly but the questions which are definitly out | of bound are the majority. This is not surprising. People are not taught to go read the specification when they program C because so many things are explicitly implementation- dependent that you basically cannot do very much if you write only to the specification of C. There was not even consistency requirements among the multiple implementation-dependencies in C-1989, but I seem to recall that there are in the integrity amendment and in C-1999. -- Erik Naggum, Oslo, Norway Act from reason, and failure makes you rethink and study harder. Act from faith, and failure makes you blame someone and push harder.
