GCC supports complex type in C programs also, but there's no need to dump 
it ;-).

It's just that the usage in the posted program is incorrect (if the 
poster meant to write a C program).  The declaration needs to be like 
this:

	__complex__ double a;

and you need to use the __real__ and __imag__ operators to access the two 
components, e.g. to pass them to `printf'.

See the GCC docs (under "C Extensions") for more info.
