  Both GCC and MSVC implement the same C and C++ language standards, which
define clearly what type conversions are allowed and which are not.  Further,
the rules are different for C and for C++, and different again when references
are involved.

  Also your previous example was pretty confused:

  That's the C compiler.

  That's a C source file.

  Clearly this is nothing to do with the examples you have shown us that rely
on C++ references.

  BTW, Cygwin has gcc v4 packages available; they're named gcc4, gcc4-core,
gcc4-g++ and so on.

    cheers,
