No. Pre standardisation there were lots of versions of C, mostly with small variations in the language and more significant variations in the library they came with. > And did it support pass-by-value for > structures? The language in K&R does not but it says that it may come along soon and indeed it did. Every C compiler I ever used, after about 1979, supported struct assignment, passing and return (though I am sure some came late to the party -- I was probably just fortunate). >> I can't actually run >> the code because the emulator is unavailable on my system, so maybe it's >> not really doing what I think. > > That's odd.

I suspect it's down to elksemu not working with newer 64-bit kernels, but I did not investigate very much. But you can check. Does bcc support struct passing etc? As I said, the assembler code looks sane and there should really be a warning if the compiler does not support it. <snip> -- Ben.
