And? Is this program C or not? If not, what is it (just curious
what ridiculous things people can invent instead of using standard
"strictly conforming" term). And please don't tell "this is not standard
C", I didn't say that. I am saying "it is a C program".

You're the one using non-Standard extensions and claiming they're
perfectly good C. I suggest that _you_ come up with your definition of
what is and is not a C program. Be careful, now: some definitions are
trickier than they first seem. For example, simply replying "any
conforming program" would have some unforeseen consequences...

Try reading the thread, you'll find some discussion of this, what
you're saying and more. Anyway, could you please confirm that
the program was not C? And could you tell (I am just curious) what
you'd call it? No, I am not asking you to invent definitions or
something, just wondering what you call that, "C-like", "a piece
of text resembling a C program", "a piece of text which looks
like java to me"... Just what you think when you see such a piece
of code, i.e. 99% of "C" code you see (quotes used because you
might say it's not C and so on).
