Thanks a lot for your quick response & fix!

FYI, ANSI/ISO C takes care of the ambiguous else by describing like:
"An else is associated with the lexically immediately preceding else
-less if that is in the same block (but not in an enclosed block)."
but I could not find the equivalent statement in ISO C++ specification.
Well, I am a fan of such a meta-ambiguity ;)

Cheers,
