Message-ID: <942@sri-arpa.UUCP> Date: Sat, 16-Jun-84 22:31:57 EDT Article-I.D.: sri-arpa.942 Posted: Sat Jun 16 22:31:57 1984 Date-Received: Wed, 20-Jun-84 00:41:17 EDT Lines: 15 From: Doug Gwyn (VLD/VMB)That 6809 C implementation is clearly a "toy" since practically NO useful existing C program can survive having ints reduced to the range -128..127. The "readonly" attribute is a non-standard extension to the language. The ANSI C committee has come up with the similar but more general "const" type modifier. If extern thing; thing definition does not work then that is clearly an incorrect implementation. Out of curiosity, what 32-bit midicomputer C exhibits this problem?
