I am developing on Linux (RedHat 7) and was getting warnings with the old code. I don't know why you are getting warnings from the explicit cast. Are you using an extra -Woption besides maintainer-mode and -Werror? Note that the first change I made did cause warnings, but I fixed those before you woke up this morning. The right way to handle it is to add an autoconf test that looks for the warning and sets a symbol accordingly. However, the code will work fine regardless of the warning, so it probably isn't worth the effort to support no warnings on anything but the latest gcc. ....Roy
