Hang on a minute, you're posting code that won't compile as C99 and
asking the audience to convert it to C++? Given your original rules, it
can't be morphed to C99, let alone C++.

I'm sure I could turn my C99 compiler back to C90, but why bother?
Maybe if you can explain the usefulness to mankind of the code, I might
give it a go....
