Cool! What are the details on the warnings. I don't get them with GCC or
TurboC.
$ cc /version
HP C V7.1-015 on OpenVMS Alpha V8.3
$ cc dumb_input
dumb_discard_old_input(strlen(continued_line_chars));
...............................^
%CC-W-PTRMISMATCH1, In this statement, the referenced type of the pointer value
"continued_line_chars" is "unsigned char", which is not compatible with
"const char" because they differ by signed/unsigned attribute.
