>What I want to know is where is this documented ?
This is a cope out, but it's in the latest C and C++ standards. The
final releases are not available for download. Draft versions are
available or you could try to find a book that has the latest C and
C++ standards. You can purchase the standards from your national or
state standards association.

In order to try to future proof yourself you may wany to have a look
at the GNU C Compiler collection home page as the compiler is still
being updated with each release to be more compliant. BTW Even MS .NET
is not fully compliant, but it allot better than MSVC 6.
