Well I don't know if it should be legal or not. I actually asked this
question of the net several times in my quest to use it, and I never
received a conclusive answer. The reason I think that it should be legal
is the wide support( from every compiler I have tried that was released in the
last year). Further, whenever it wasn't supported, the compiler
never reacted in a graceful manner, which leads me to believe that those
compilers hadn't considered such a use. As I said, I have crashed compilers
with it.

My suggestion would be to talk to Metrowerks.

Let me know if you find out if this is legal. I use it a lot, now that it works
and would be quite worried if this feature were to be fixed in a later release.
