First of all, this list is for development of gcc, not with gcc. Use
[EMAIL PROTECTED] for such questions. Second, you are
assigning a pointer of type (struct t2*) to a pointer of type
(struct t2*). This is of course fine - if you remove the cast, you
get the warning you want. This is just like f.i. double x = (int)i.
