--- Comment #14 from sylvain.pion at sophia dot inria.fr 2011-10-29 04:22:49 UTC --- (@Paolo : I still receive email at my old address, so far) I don't have a strong opinion on this. It's certainly nice to have a strongly compliant mode to make it easier to write portable code, although that doesn't replace proper testing with other compilers anyway. I understand that there can be a small drawback here, and maybe not a lot of motivation to dig further on this particular question.
