I'm not so sure; a normal C struct or array would never have a global symbol defined in the middle or at the end, so a smart compiler might some day assume that if you take a symbol and decrement it, it's an invalid pointer. I don't really want to argue much more than that, and I don't have a specific thing to point to in the C standard. --David ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Mingw-w64-public mailing list Mingw-w64-public@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mingw-w64-public
