Do you agree with that? Or is there something more to making two types

I said they were compatible enough. David said they were entirely
compatible. Tim said "No they are not". Three different opinions.

 If you pretend not to understand the C standard, you can argue
about it forever.
 It's been explained to you more than once, but really, just read
the flippin standard and stop arguing.

Fucking hell.
Three people have said three different things. They can't all be right.
But according to you, only one of them is wrong: me, even though the other two have made exactly opposite claims!
So to you it's not about who's right and who's wrong; you are just CONSTANTLY having a go at me personally for reasons that are nothing to do with the subject. That is persecution.
In fact you don't really care about the topic (if you're even aware of it). So, FUCK YOU.
As for reading the standard, since that is this group's favourite subject, then why does the group even exist? Since every possible question can be answered there.
Apart of course from the interminable 'halting problem' (apparently half of you just can't resist joining in) and discussions about religion and ancient history.
