I don't see why you weren't surprised. If "out" was never assigned, it would be dead code, but "out" is assigned. And though "in" and "out" are aliasing each other, they are of the same type. -- greg _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
