You'll have to do it also at the beginning of the line.

I think for pointers (especially when you change the size of the result)
gcc is more picky. Compile the attached program to verify.

And I don't remember Steven saying that he actually used gcc or even
Linux on the Alpha, it could be the DEC cc under Tru-64...
