Message: [QUOTE="Peter J. Holzer, post: 4872177"] You removed the next sentence where I wrote that it doesn't. It just says "that's forbidden", but leaves to compiler complete freedom how to deal (or not deal) with the situation. Most compilers (for the sake of efficiency and compatibility with existing ABIs) assume that the programmer never makes a mistake and produce code which will happily scribble over neighbour variables. A very few however will produce code which catches the error and raises an exception. hp [/QUOTE]
