I use DJGPP v2.01, with RHIDE 1.4.
When I compile this code:
#include <iostream.h>

short counter()
{
    auto short count;
    count ++;
    cout << count << " ";
    return 0;
}

int main()
{
    short i;
    for (i = 0; i < 10; i ++)
       counter();
    return 0;
}

This is displayed:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

This happens everytime.  Shouldn't the values returned be random?
If I change auto short count; with auto short count = 20; , however,
this is displayed:
21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30

Is this a problem with me, DJGPP, or RHIDE?
Thanx
