The following won't compile:

--------------------------------
typedef char * memory ;

struct S	{
	memory (*A)(), memory (*B)();	// this is a syntax error
};

---
but
---

Struct S	{
	memory (*A)();
	memory (*B)();
};


will.

I am still running 1.0 relE here... is this something that has been
fixed?

The headache is because the former compiles using /bin/cc and
I am trying to integrate old C code with some new C++ stuff
(this is \supposed/ to work....)
