Yes, of course.  Of course, we can only test with compilers and platforms
available to us.

As it happens, the problem you mentioned could be considered a bug in your
compiler.  The ANSI C99 standard specifically allows a trailing comma in the
definition of an enum type.  (I don't know about C89, though.)
