WOW, that's pretty stupid. "0.1" has no type, it is a numeric literal.
Type is inferred from the context and only if that isn't possible it
will fall back to the intrinsic type. You can even say "int i = 0.1;"
and that is correct C.
gcc -Wall -Wextra does not complain about the examples in the thread you
quoted as that is the correct C behavior. MSVC is a C++ compiler beaten
into submission to do C. And C++ perverted C.
