Quite a lot of code breaks, actually (I can't think of a single publicly available C++ program of nontrivial size that did *not* break), which is why g++ 2.7.0 has a flag (-fno-for-scope) to revert to the old behavior. It's certainly the #1 reported "bug" on the g++ bug group, despite warnings in the distribution and requests not to report this new feature as a bug. -- -- Joe Buck <jbuck@synopsys.com> (not speaking for Synopsys, Inc) Anagrams for "information superhighway": Enormous hairy pig with fan A rough whimper of insanity
