*ouch* Well, gcc should report _way_ ealier, then :-((

No, I fear I'm missing the rationale and some background on this.

At least with gcc-4.2.3 (Kubuntu Hardy) it works. I'll check gcc-4.3.1 
(OpenSuSE 10.3 repository upgrade) at work tomorrow.  
But given the fact that no other compiler did allow this, I would rather not 
have it in.

With a better regression reporting system we could perhaps set up some "code 
testing" build-sandbox for testing "dark corner" code ;-)) And read "better" 
as "shorter response and turnaround time". 

Yours,

Jürgen
