Hi

I've run across the following gcc "feature":

	char c[4] = "01234";

gcc emits a nice warning

warning: initializer-string for array of chars is too long

But do a

	char c[4] = "0123";

and - a wonder - no warning. No warning with gcc 3.3.2, 3.3.5, 3.4.5, 
4.1.2. I was told 4.2.x does produce a warning. Now do a

	struct {
		char c[4];
		int i;
	} t;
	t.i = 0x12345678;
	strcpy(t.c, c);

and t.i is silently corrupted. Just wanted to ask if this is known, 
really...

Thanks
Guennadi
