Can anybody say `lint'? ;) As far as casting parameters, as long as you
keep standard type promotion in mind (integral types [except long] to
int, float to double), this shouldn't be a problem. Any code that relies
on promotion to a nonstandard type is probably dangerous anyway. Think
v7, not sysV.
