Javier Kohen to Druggitt. Ensign:
On stardate 04-Jun-97, Paul Druggitt established a sub-space link to Cliff 
Rhodes refering to Dynamic member testing [1/2].
 PD>  I got plenty of ideas, but couldn't quite grasp the 'mechanics' of
     if (*(int *)a >> *(int *)b).
It instructs the compiler (by using a cast) that a & b both point to an
int value. Then it gets the values that a & b are pointing to, and
shifts *a *b places to the right, and tests if it's a non-zero value.
splitting the code in bits...
char *a = "abcde";
char *b = "fghij";
int *aa;
int *bb;
aa = a;         // here we cast the char * to int *
bb = b;
int n;
int i;
n = *aa;        // Then we get the values the pointers are pointing to
i = *bb;
int m;
m = n >> i;
if (i != 0) {
}
