Yes, but the user might be. I don't believe this statement is factually correct - the compiler most certainly does allow forward declaration of variables. Also, such a statement is of little value unless associated with an operating system release number (or better a compiler release number). This conversation snippet indicates that the problem has not been fully understood (atleast by Albert Chin-A-Young); solving an incompletely-understood problem is a recipe for desasters, when it comes to portability.
