Summary of net.lang.c for period 7/1/84 - 7/9/84
    as seen at utah-gr by Spencer Thomas 
    Articles 2070 - 2106 (37 articles)

                Continuing discussions
Variable-length strings at end of structures response summary.
    An "awe-inspiring" number of responses.
    A name: "open-ended structure".
    They are used a great deal (some feel guilty about it, though).
    Discussion of allocating space for such a structure.
    Sizeof doesn't work on them (of course)

Concatenation of symbols in pre-processor.  "A needed hack".  Maybe
    the standards committee should define a way to do it?

Need for standard CPP symbols to tell systems apart.  Should have a
    convention, so new names won't conflict with programmer defined
    symbols.
    Maybe a "pre_ansi" symbol also?

"a;" as a global declaration does declare "a" as an int.

                New discussions

A long, good summary of the C Language Standardization presentation
    by Larry Rosler (of the ANSI X3J11 committee) at the SLC Usenix
    conference.  A little editorializing, but otherwise straight reporting.
    A small amount of further discussion, mostly centering on function
    declarations.

Apparently HCR has a "C Test Suite".  Any info on this?

(Rehash, again) Bug with asm and if statement in BSD C compiler.

Anyone got Tiny-C on a 6502?  Contact Jim Gonzalez (linus!vaxine!gnz)

Question about lint and enums.  "lint and enums seem to be mutually exclusive".
