------- Additional Comments From SebastianR at gmx dot de 2005-07-04 01:38 ------- I think there might be an actual bug with this new warning: In the qsort man page, it says you can use strcmp as the last argument to qsort. So the types must be compatible, and it also works. However, this fails:
((int(*)(const void *, const void *)) strcmp) ("a", "b"); The type conversion is exactly the same, only this time it is called directly. I think this bug/feature is really annoying, especially (as already said) the fact that it compiles but crashes at run time. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18411
