Re: something iteresting

Shyjumon,

Your message is all very interesting.  But you sent your message to
the bug-coreutils mailing list.  We don't maintain gcc here and
neither is this a C language mentoring forum.  It would be better if
you asked your question in a better forum for the topic.  You probably
wanted the address@hidden mailing list for asking for gcc help.

However your question is just a basic C question and probably one of
the C language newsgroups such as comp.lang.c would be best.  In any
case be sure to review the FAQ to see if your question is there.

Good luck!
