I seem to be having some problems with Manx C 3.40a. I get warnings of PTR/INT
conversions that I supposedly don't have to worry about if my INT is the same
size as a PTR.
Here a a couple of lines that will cause the warning (#121 I think):
struct IntuitionBase *IntuitionBase;
IntuitionBase=(struct IntuitionBase *)OpenLibrary("intuition.library",vers);
I have seen identical code in other's programs and have used the same switchs
when I compile but to no avail ( yeah, I know I can set a switch to give no
warnings ).
Anybody know how you avoid these warnings?
Thanks,
Dick

The only things that I do different/in_addition are:
1) Make sure that you #include <functions.h> so that OpenLibrary
has the right type. (Otherwise it will be a short int and
won't type cast).
2) make sure vers is of type LONG.

I find Manx's <functions.h> to be a real pain. Some of the Amiga
routines seem to have been mis-typed in the file.
As a results, I always use code of the form
struct Library *OpenLibrary();
struct IntuitionBase *IntuitionBase;
IntuitionBase =
(struct IntuitionBase *)OpenLibrary("intuition.library",vers);
Alternately, you could specify OpenLibrary's type as
struct IntuitionBase *OpenLibrary();
if Intuition was the only library you were planning to open.
