Hello, this warning is harmless. Actually, I would consider it a bug in the system's C headers that gcvt is declared with attribute warn_unused_result — the return value of this function is always the same as the target buffer parameter passed to the function and hence it is unlikely that any information is lost by ignoring it. But then again, gcvt is a legacy function that was removed from the most recent POSIX standards anyway and it is probably no wonder if strange things happen when one uses it ;-) Ciao, Thomas -- When C++ is your hammer, every problem looks like your thumb. _______________________________________________ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
