Allowing void variables seems like a reasonable extension to me. Certainly these three variables are not of type int, as indicated by my (Solaris 1.01) man page. They're merely dimensionless boundaries. If that's not a void type, I guess nothing is. Besides, it's a pain to have to cast &etext to (void *) every time I want to compare it with another (void *). --jim -- Jim Mattson Internet: jmattson@ucsd.edu UCSD CSE Dept. 0114 Bitnet: jmattson@ucsd 9500 Gilman Drive UUCP: ...!uunet!ucsd!jmattson La Jolla, CA 92093-0114 USA Voice: +1 619 534 7371
