As part of my fun autoconfiscation of the AbiWord tree (It Links, It
Runs) I came across some very strange errors involving casting from a
void * to an enum. The compiler didn't like the casts, basically, and
wouldn't accept them. They look like this:
fp_PageSize::Type foobar = (fp_PageSize::Type) gtk_function_here(with,
arguments)
This won't compile.
Changing it to this fixes it.
fp_PageSize::Type foobar = (fp_PageSize::Type) (unsigned int)
gtk_function_here(with, arguments)
However, the degree to which this is ugly and disgusting boggles the
mind.
So, two questions here:
1) Why am I getting these errors on the autoconfiscated build, and not
on normal builds? I have none of the fun warning and ansi options
set.
2) Why are functions that should be giving us an enum, or something
vaguely like it, giving us a void *?
The patch to make all the errors go away is attached. But I *really*
don't like it.
Ideas?
