I agree -- with the obvious caveat that it need not be the case that the object actually have that value if the program has invoked undefined behavior. So, if you have an 5-bit type, stored in a byte, and you manage to get 255 in that byte, and you read the value, you might see 255 at runtime -- but only because your program was busted anyhow. -- Mark Mitchell CodeSourcery [EMAIL PROTECTED] (650) 331-3385 x713
