It can be detected in compilers and > the construct can be deprecated. The only loss would be to the IOCCC. By which you mean i[a] specifically (i an int and a a pointer)? Why do you think I would object to compilers detecting and complaining about that construct? In general I favour lots and lots of compiler help. -- Ben.
