Still wrong casts....I hope that's it now....


A fair number of the casts seem to be unnecessary for example in
RAND_bytes(), OPENSSL_malloc() and HMAC(). Do you get warnings on your
system without them?

I used the same example in a server/client testprogram and compiled it
with the g++ compiler to be very pedantic. The regular gcc doesn't
complain if there are none at all, but the g++ is nagging about
missing casts.


Well if you compile as C++ you end up needling lots of unnecessary
casts. You should really compile with one of the "debug-foo" names for
you platform e.g. debug-steve64. If it works without any warnings on
that it's a good sign, though some of the more esoteric platforms can
still complain.

The $gcc_devteam_warn options should be used as a minimum.
OK. So, do you want another version of Robins patch?

Best regards
