------- Additional Comments From manus at eiffel dot com 2004-11-10 00:42 ------- Thanks for your answer. I see that following the ANSI C standard forces you to do something. But I believe the right thing to do is: 1 - make it a compile time error (better to catch those errors at compile time rather than at run-time, like I did) 2 - make it a warning and generates the code that gcc generated in the past and that has been working for as long as I remember.
But definitely don't do: - produces a warning and generate code that will crash your program at run-time. I'm definitely in favor of 2 as it would permit the code I have to continue to work, especially when I know that I provide all the type information to the C compiler so that it can generate the right code. Hopefully someone will listen or convince me otherwise With best regards, Manu -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18411
