I have some C code I am compiling in VS 2005 using the C/C++ compiler
it seems to work except for the following error

FILE *fin = stdin;
FILE *fout = stdout;

Error 1 error C2099: initializer is not a constant
c:\projects\jmotion\jmotion\jmotion.c 18
Error 2 error C2099: initializer is not a constant
c:\projects\jmotion\jmotion\jmotion.c 19

stdin and stdout need not be constants, so you can't use them to
initalise static or global variables. Do the assignments in an
initialisation function instead.

According to ISO/IEC 14882:2009 Section 8.5, an initializer can be made up
of arbitrary expression so the code has no problem. I've successfully
compiled it by g++ under strict ansi mode.
