1. If [somehow] something goes wrong it's a lot simpler to bash a fellow developer than send a request for support to one of the compiler development team.
2. Some compilers don't like the implicit cast. Usually they cope with the side effects but when the int and long don't have the same length (which is usually the case on 64 bits architectures) they generate an error.
So, either we add the explicit cast from the beginning or I will have to add it next time I compile on Windows ...

Because the target variable is an (int).If I were writing the code, I would leave the cast out. By assigning the value to an int variable, you get the same effect anyway, so the cast is redundant. And if you ever change the variable to a long, now you have to remember to delete the cast too. So I don't see any upside to having the cast. But it's just a minor style issue... _______________________________________________ devel mailing list de...@open-mpi.org http://www.open-mpi.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/devel
