Thread: Warning "Suspicious pointer conversion" using Borland C++ version 4.52 IDE

I ran out of DGROUP memory so I had to create the following variable

Code:

volatile char far strfarResponseString[4096];

I created a far pointer in my function and used it as below

Code:

void DownloadAFile(char *strDirectory,char *strFileName)
{
char far *RspPtr; //Four byte Pointer
more code
RspPtr = &strfarResponseString[0];
more code
}

When I "build all" I get a "Suspicious pointer conversion" warning at

Code:

RspPtr = &strfarResponseString[0];

The program works. But is there some way I can get rid of the warning?

It has been many years since I did much C programming but I Have Been Given the job of adding some capabilities to an existing program. Every variable introduced outside a function is either given the volatile or extern qualifier. I don’t think there are any background functions. So, I should be able to drop the volatile. After doing that for strfarResponseString I only have 108 warnings left.

Thank you for the lead. I'm going to try to cut these down.
