Simple C question
Hey, that's legal, according to the ANSI standard!
#pragma is, in my opinion, a misfeature of the standard because
there is no regulation or registration of pragmas. Any other
solution would have been ugly and disgusting, too, however,
so we run with what we've got.
Basically, the #pragma statement allows the vendor to claim full
ANSI compliance but still include machine-dependant things –
two inherently contradictory goals, but both necessary/valuable.
