implicit casts in g++

[Eljay Love-Jensen]

Hi Kalle,

Your options are:
1) Use a C compiler
2) Modify the code

Implicit pointer casts that are allowed by C are not allowed by C++.

Despite their many similarities, compliant C code is not always compliant C++ code.  Where C and C++ part ways is often troubled waters.  (Unfortuantely, C99 has widened the gap creating more troubled waters for those who have to have one foot in the C canoe, and another foot in the C++ canoe.)

>Is there anyway compiler switch to make g++ ignore those errors?

g++ -x c foo.cpp -o foo.o

HTH,
