This is allowed in the Hitachi EC++ compiler too.

You're right, this is not allowed because it relys on RTTI.

Is part of the "virtual function/base class" feature.

Because you have objects and virtual functions. However, you can use plain C
with function pointers but it's not very readable.

I already used EC++ in some of my embedded projects for - for example -
generic interfaces to image memory and it was a great improvement for the
development. I  was able to write the main parts (image filters/checkers) on
Windows using Borland C++ and then I simply compiled it with and EC++
compiler and it simply worked. Working this way for embedded platforms is
simply fun.

I simply cannot use - for example - GCC for SH4 because we have to use  
libraries from Matsushita and they're only available in SYSROF (Hitachi SH  
compiler) format which isn't documented :(.
