This code doesn't break any of the rules of the C language which would cause it not to parse.It is true that the standard does not require a diagnostic in this case, and that providing a diagnostic in all cases at compile time is impossible, but that doesn't make it any less 'not C'. C is not just 'what the compiler happens to accept'. (I completely agree that in this particular case a warning would likely have been useless unless accompanied by a brickbat.) btw, HJ's trying to fix the underlying problem here.
