[Dev-C++] Array to array assignment

[Peter P. <pet...@ya...>]

Hi

This piece of code works in Dev-C++:

  int a[10],b[10];
  a=b;   /* array to array assignment */

Why does it work? I experimented a little bit and found out, that it really copies one array to
another. I think ANSI C forbids this. And it doesn't work with other compilers I tried (MS VC++,
Borland C++ for DOS).
I was googling some our, but found nothing about this feature.
Any explanation?

Thx
Peter

It works as expected here, I was not able to compile the code with
4.9.9.2.
