An explicit cast lets someone reading the code know that the original programmer was aware that data could be loss, or that data loss wouldn't occur because of the range of the data. IMO, adding explicit casts to the code is better than having an equally number of implicit casts. >Maybe OFW would be better off just turning that warning off? :) I've tried. If there's a way to do this, I haven't found it. The /W<whatever number this is> option hasn't worked for me. - Sean _______________________________________________ ofw mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openfabrics.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ofw
