Package: gcc-3.3
Version: 1:3.3.5-13
Severity: normal

Hi,

There are a fair range of reserved identifiers in C; it is a not uncommon
programming mistake for a coder to use one. It would be good if gcc told you
when you did this; it would need to avoid doing so for system headers, but
that's a general problem that gcc has already solved.

has a list of them, as does the C standard, but not collected together quite
so conveniently. I suggest -Wreserved-identifiers as the option name :)

Thanks,

Matthew

You filled the bug http://bugs.debian.org/384052 in Debian BTS
against the package gcc-3.3. I'm closing it as fixed in *unstable*,
but it will remain open for older distributions.

For more information about this package's removal, read
http://bugs.debian.org/536776. That bug might give the reasons why
this package was removed and suggestions of possible replacements.

Don't hesitate to reply to this mail if you have any question.

Thank you for your contribution to Debian.
