No, gcc is off-topic here, just like lcc-win32 is off-topic here. The
proper course for respondents would have been to examine the source the
OP provided, to see whether the issue could somehow be resolved using
standard C. If not, they should have referred the OP to a gcc-specific
group.
as the OP, i didn't think this was so off-topic for comp.lang.c (i
cross-posted to comp.dsp because there is where i loiter and i know
that some of those guys think about nasty details like this). it
wasn't until someone pointed me to gnu.gcc.something that i had any
idea of the "proper" newsgroup to plop this onto.
i think jacob was reasonably on-topic as can be expected. (at least
you should see how conversations drift at comp.dsp. be careful there
because i have been known to rant if the provocation is sufficient.
and i'm not the only one.)
i gotta find that gnu.gcc.whatever group and post the question there.
