Hi!

----

Does Sun Studio 12 have a warning for statements like...
-- snip --
int pd;
char *ptr1,
     *ptr2;
/* ... */
pd = ptr2-ptr1;
-- snip --
... on 64bit targets ?

I've spend today some hours to dig-out this kind of bug where a pointer
difference (32bit on 32bit SPARC and 64bit on 64bit SPARC, e.g. a
|ptrdiff_t|) is stored in an |int| (32bit integer) the loss of bits
trigged a malfunction... 
... somehow I was wondering why Sun Studio didn't warn about this.

Bye,
Roland
