Thanks for replying, Mr. Brown. What I meant was if an option could be provided, existing code could compile without the option, and fresh code to compile with the switch enabled (as per user discretion, of course - no compulsion either way anywhere). If the option garners wide recognition / usage, over a period of time the standard pointer declaration could be fixed to everyone's happiness: int* p; // which really is what it should be in all propriety The current declaration style really sickens me, particularly when trying to explain C pointers to others.
