Re: [OT] gcc-warnings

[Erik Steffl <steffl@bigfoot.com>]

  it means that an integer value was assigned to pointer variable,
pointers are quite often some kinds of integers but not neccessarily so,
I guessfollowing code would produce such an error message:

int main(void)
{
  void *ptr;
  int   i = 319;

  ptr = i; /* problem here */

  return 0;
}  

  to understand a most of these warnings you need C++ book, not gcc
manual...
