It shouldn't. C99 explicitly has this as an example (6.7.8.32). It's also of note that char *p = "abc" is different from char a[] = "abc" in that the elements of a are modifiable, while modifying p[x] yields undefined behavior. But this is increasingly getting out of scope for hackers@ ... so I'll shut up now. -- Max _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
