Re: CVS update: php3/functions

> It would raise a warning which should be verbose enough. No, that's the trouble. It wouldn't. For example, take this silly illustration: int show(void) { return 1; } int main(void) { int a; a = (int)show(); return(a); } Fine and dandy, right? The type cast there doesn't hurt anybody. While this is true in this case, what happens when someone decides to change the show() function definition to: char *show(void) { return malloc(5); } Making this change will not produce a warning because of the spurious type cast in the main() function above and could thus hide a bug on us. -Rasmus -- PHP Development Mailing List http://www.php.net/ To unsubscribe send an empty message to php-dev-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For help: php-dev-help@lists.php.net
