I'm going to ignore your real problem [1] in favour of criticising your
subject line:
... implicit casts ...
C doesn't have implicit casts.
the manual speaks of "explicit casts", then what is a cast that is not
an "explicit" cast? i think that
short a_short;
double a_double;
a_short = a_double;
is an "implicit cast". saying
a_short = (short)a_double;
is an "explicit cast." am i using the language incorrectly?
Casts are explicit syntax, `(Type) Expr`.
It has implicit /conversions/.
I'll have another latte now.
[1] Which I see has generated much -- hopefully helpful -- response.
i still haven't heard the magic invocation i make to the gcc compiler
that will warn me when an implicit conversion can potentially change a
value. the manual seems to say that -Wconversion should do it, but i
know that it does not, at least in my reasonably current
implementation of gcc on linux.
but i like to see the discussion it generated, anyway.
