Your description, Julian, is about the change which has been in the CVS for several months.
Oops - sorry. I mis-read it. I suppose I saw what I expected to see rather than what was actually there.
The change I commited today is different; it restors K&R level of compatibility. gawk is still compilable with K&R compilers and we shouldn't break it.
Oh, OK. I'm not a fan of supporting pre-C89 compilers, but if other people want to test for compatibility with certain old compilers and provide such work-arounds and they don't cause too much hassle, that's fine.
