In some cases, I can agree, but in others - I don't agree. A cast is by
far the most simplest solution.
For instance, look at this:
LOG_WARNING("writing %d bytes only - as image section is %d
bytes and bank is only %d bytes", \
(int)(c->base + c->size - run_address),
(int)(run_size), (int)(c->size));
(a) look at what is being printed
(b) the possible ranges of numbers
(c) the number of parameters involved in the expressions
At some point - having to dig back 20 to 30 -lines- to *random* places -
because some variables are:
(1) function parameters
(2) defined at the top most block
(3) defined locally to the local block
(4) defined a few lines down from the top most block
(5) often simplistic 'i/j/k' type vars that are reused because they are
handy.
(6) By the time I personally dig through the above, and determine all
types involved
(7) Then understand the underlying arithmetic integer promotion order...
*note* this set of equations are simple...
(8) a cast to a basic type is truly a very *simple* solution,
(9) a cast to a basic type in this case is the K.I.S.S. solution.
Either that - or we *need* a different solution here, the above is absurd.
