Nope, as has been said a number of times, it is not valid C++. typeof is not in the existing C++ standard. It is a very useful extension implemented by a number of vendors, but that doesn't make it standard.
That's not fair. VC7.1 is *not* failing because of my use of typeof. We could provide a fallback for retrieving the return type of the expressions. The point is, that the VC7.1 already failed with an "Internal compiler failure" on previous version that were 100% ISO-C++. Please try to understand the problem first before accusing me of writing offending non-standard code which hurts the poor, innocent VC7.1 :-) Regards, Daniel
