Re: Inline::C Cookbook addition

Hi Rob,

So I gather that the example in its original state did not compile on =
Windows? I would be somewhat surprised that there are still C compilers =
in use that are not C99 compliant.

Many thanks for your suggestions, and I will follow your advice on using =
the github process.

Cheers,
Ron.
