Others already mentioned why you had problems. My recommandation is to
set the options of your compiler in a way that provokes a warning
message. If you can't provoke your compiler to do that, you should
seriously consider switching compilers or at least check your program
with another compiler (gcc comes to mind). Actually, double-checking
your programs with another compiler is often a good idea.
