Mock Trial: Court's Exhibit 2

# include <stdio.h>

typedef struct { char a; } buffer;

int main (void) {
  struct buffer { int a; } ;
  int x = 4 //**/ 2
    ;
  buffer b;
  b.a = 655;

  fprintf (stderr, "b.a = %d / x = %d\n", b.a, x);
}

> gcc --ansi struct.c
struct.c: In function `main':
struct.c:10: warning: overflow in implicit constant conversion
            This is just a warning not a violation of language specification.
            Most compilers would not complain.
> a.out
b.a = -113 / x = 2

> g++ --ansi struct.c
> a.out
b.a = 655 / x = 4

Any participant in the trial may use this as they see fit.
