------- Additional Comments From bangerth at dealii dot org 2005-03-02 19:24 ------- The problem with the compiler not warning about these cases is that it is perfectly legal to cast a double* to an int* -- the problem is that it is not legal to access a double through an int*, but to flag this as a warning would mean that the compiler has to keep track of what each pointer points to, a task it cannot do in general. We just have to ask our users to write decent code... W.
