I would add that it is *useful* for programmers to be able to avoid the warning in cases where they know what they are doing. That is, it's a *feature* that one can define #define remove_const(x, type) ((type)(size_t)(x)) and so avoid the warnings. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20229
