following up a message from Wim Veldhuis to Jason Hendriks:

Ok, I tried it with Borland C++ v5.01.
You get a warning when you are compiling with the Borland Extensions enabled, 
and an error when ANSI compliance is set. Of course you can disable the 
warning if you want, but where I work it is considered to be stupid to do so 
:-).
So you were correct in noticing that I saw a problem which didn't really 
exist.
