+// g++ 1.37.1 bug 900227_01
+
+// g++ allows pointer type values to be converted to integral types which are
+// not actually large enough to hold the converted values.
+
+// Section 3.3.4 of the ANSI C standard says:
+
+// A pointer may be converted to an integral type. The size of the
+// integer required and the results are implementation defined. If
+// the space provided is not long enough, the behavior is undefined.
+
+// I believe that the only proper thing to do in such cases is to generate
+// errors. After all, if the converted value gets truncated, it is not
+// likely to be useful after that.
+
+// Furthermore, as the following example demonstrates, allowing pointers
+// to be converted to integral types which are not of sufficient size to
+// completely hold the converted values may cause additional troubles.
+
+// I tried the following code on 5 different machines and it failed on
+// all five (unless I also use the GNU assembler and the GNU linker). Three
+// of the five (Sun3, Sun4, and Symmetry) got link-time errors about byte
+// offset overflows. The other two (368/SystemV and AViiON) got assembly
+// time errors about relocatable names used in "constant" expressions.
+
+// keywords: casts, pointer types, integral types
+
+// Update 2/10/95: The compiler will now compute these expressions at
+// runtime. I think this is in the spirit of the GNU compilers (jason).
