Please allow me to answer. You're completely right: this is perfectly
valid ISO C++ standard. However, some compilers/librairies are deaf, and
will more or less show their lameness to such doings with a page fault.
So, yeah, you're right, it makes no bloody difference. Expect when it
comes to porting and compiling it to some %!@#!@%#@$ platforms (who said I
already had the bug, and spent some hours finding it shouting "why does it
works on this platform and not on this f...ing one?!"?)
