It would Really Suck if we yanked the support as a knee-jerk reaction to some company's patent claims, only to have to put it back once it's found invalid (or the company finds it's infeasible to actually deal with the licensing issues). Remember - some bozo might manage to get the patent office to not notice that there's prior art for the concept of separate pre- and post- increment operations, and try to collect licensing fees for all C programs that use both ++i and i++ before the patent is invalidated. ;) -- Valdis Kletnieks Computer Systems Senior Engineer Virginia Tech
