What do you mean by "narrowing data conversion warnings"?Originally Posted by Elysia
What do you mean by "narrowing data conversion warnings"?
The int will not fit inside Char, so it should trigger a warning because you are narrowing the size.Code:int Int = 1000000; char Char = Int;
GCC does not issue such warnings.
Disclaimer: Untested.
As I have pointed out before, there is no requirement to warn about that, so "should" here is personal opinion, which happens to coincide with my personal opinion.The int will not fit inside Char, so it should trigger a warning because you are narrowing the size.
If blackcell used gcc on Unix, then I would consider it best to use the MinGW port of gcc anyway. On the other hand, using an entirely different compiler makes for good exposure to different tools.

I'm not saying it must. I would prefer it does and it's more helpful to newbies, as well.
That's all.
GCC has lots of options like Wall -pedantic...and many others I cant remember, gives you all the warnings you want eheh. With CodeBlocks you can simply set it under settings/compiler and debugger, some are already there to chose, others you can add em manually.
Essential if you wanna use GCC IMHO:

As far as I can tell*, it will not emit the warnings Elysia mentioned even with what you found.GCC has lots of options like Wall -pedantic...and many others I cant remember, gives you all the warnings you want eheh.

Ok, just tried with GCC 4.2.3 and using those options and it doesn't warn either.
Maybe there's some other option but I don't know...
GCC does not support the warning. It was mentioned in another thread somewhere (where someone who had knowledge about it quoted that it did not support these warnings).
It's not required, so GCC opts not to support it.

Well, I found a quote by someone else, anyway.
