It's not a matter of whether the extension to GCC is a bug. It's the simple fact that it's a GCC extension and not standard C. This is c.vim, not gcc.vim so Bram has chosen not to implement a feature request because he doesn't consider it valid or worth the time or whatever. > Why Bram would think > that totally escapes me, but in any case his personal preferences > don't determine what's a bug in gcc.

I should be using the BTS' views to ignore wontfix bugs instead of closing them to remove them from my radar. Reopened and marked wontfix. -- James GPG Key: 1024D/61326D40 2003-09-02 James Vega <james...@debian.org>
