They're probably all "char versus unsigned char" complaints? There are a ton of them on compilers that care about it; most of 'em in the multibyte support. While it would be nice to clean up all that someday, I can't say that I think it's a really profitable use of time. One difficulty is that the obvious fix (add a bunch of casts) is probably a net degradation of the code. Explicit casts will hide mismatches that are a lot worse than char signedness, and so cluttering the code with them makes things more fragile IMHO. I think an acceptable fix would involve running around and changing datatype and function declarations; which is much more subtle and thought-requiring than throwing in a cast wherever the compiler burps. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
