    Not if you compile it as C++, which this section of the cboard is relating to. Then gcc (g++) gives an error.

    Compilers can produce warnings - make the compiler programmers happy: Use them!
    Please don't PM me for help - and no, I don't do help over instant messengers.

    Errors! Errors away!
    Warnings in C, errors in C++!

    Correction: All compilers will spit out an error or they are broken

    All C++ compilers, yes.

    Further correction, that is an error in both C and C++... I really wish you would learn where these languages are different. I'll show you here:

    Code:
    Comeau C/C++ 4.3.10.1 (Oct  6 2008 11:28:09) for ONLINE_EVALUATION_BETA2
Copyright 1988-2008 Comeau Computing.  All rights reserved.
MODE:non-strict warnings C90 

"ComeauTest.c", line 3: error: a value of type "char *" cannot be used to initialize
          an entity of type "int"
    int foo = "bar";
              ^

1 error detected in the compilation of "ComeauTest.c".

    When I write warning, I meant that the compiler spits out a warning instead of an error (which most compilers do), and not that it is not a programmer error in itself (that, it is).
    But how are you supposed to know this when all C compilers spits of warnings instead of errors?!?!?!
