Oh boy do i know how to silence a list;) Absolutely ROTFLMAO:)

I wouldn't normally have bothered, but seeing as though the list went
ever so silent, i headed on over to http://www.hpinfotech.ro/html/download.htm,
installed the eval version, and made a simple project with:

#include<stdlib.h>

void func1(void)
{
   enum {where,why,what} state;
}

void main(void)
{
}

Result?:  main.c(5): illegal symbol

*****************************************************************

#include<stdlib.h>

void func1(void)
{
   struct {
     char What;
   } state;
}

void main(void)
{
}

Result?:  main.c(5): illegal symbol

*****************************************************************

#include<stdlib.h>

void func1(void)
{
   union {
     char What;
   } state;
}

void main(void)
{
}

Result?:  main.c(5): illegal symbol

*****************************************************************

This one compiles ok:

#include <stdlib.h>

void input_from_panel(void)
{ static enum {Waiting,What} state;
}

void send_serial(void)
{ static enum {What} state;
}

void main(void)
{
}

*****************************************************************

This one compiles ok:

struct TCB_struct{
   unsigned char cnt,prio,task_state,swstk[16],*swstkptr;
   void(**hwstkptr)(void);
   void(*hwstk[8])(void);
   struct TCB_struct* next_ptr;
};

*****************************************************************

This one compiles ok:

void(**hwstk)(void);

*****************************************************************


It just sums up the quality of Windoze crud in general. Codevision
users must be really basic C noobs.

Three basic C syntax bugs haven't been fixed for 5 freekin YEARS, and
you PAYED money for this? No wonder no one owned up to it.
