Well, y1 doesn't seem to be a reserved identifier in any case. But you can see the C implementation provided by Debian as a freestanding implementation that is an extension of a hosted implementation. In other words, any additional identifier can be defined in various libraries. From this point of view, there is no bug as long as this is properly documented. IMHO, it is a good idea to use a kind of namespace for globals to avoid clashes, as GMP does. -- Vincent Lefèvre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.org/> - 100% validated (X)HTML - Acorn Risc PC, Yellow Pig 17, Championnat International des Jeux Mathématiques et Logiques, TETRHEX, etc. Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / SPACES project at LORIA -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
