Assuming a fully conformant compiler and lib, is the following program
legal C++, and does it behave as the comments suggest?  (I don't care
whether or not it is good code, just whether or not it's conformant).

#include <math.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
   float a = pow(10.f, -1);  // calls std::pow(float, int)
   std::printf("a = %f\n", a);
}

Thanks,
-Howard
