Ok, thanks. So, yes, MSVC officially doesn't support C99, it isn't even fully C90 compliant, but still, MS was obviously reasonable enough to at least comply with some of the very basic rules (Hmmm, why does this actually surprise me about MS? >:) ). But now that we all know about the initialization rules we should quickly forget these again - as we all agreed - and keep using explicit initializers anyway. Better style. Easier readable. Always works. ;) cheers, Thorsten ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Special Offer-- Download ArcSight Logger for FREE (a $49 USD value)!
