I don't think it's very well defined; there are questions about it which can only be answered by looking at the code, and where there's no committment that the behavior is the same everywhere. It's better documented than some languages, but much less well documented than even C89. :) (Also, at least some of the documentation is incorrect.) -s -- seebs@plethora.net -- I am not speaking for my employer.
