It what??? I have no idea but you might want to give some example code
to show the problem.

I'm not using CC but AFAIK DJGPP follows the standards for all such

I have never seen this problem in any compiler, especially not DJGPP.
You're sure you haven't done anything wrong yourself? Pointererrors
