Of course, this ignores the detail that while the C compilers are generating correct code, they may also be generating warnings about alleged type errors - which can be a bit disconcerting.
It is an error, not just a warning, if the prototypes don't match. GCC will complain loudly if there's a missing 'const' - it won't generate any code at all. Cheers, Simon
