Subject: Re: gcc ignores the cast and emits a warning
A cast to (short) has to assume the constraints of the cast datatype
not the original data type.
The result of the entire if test
if ((short)trans_ind >= 0 && (short)trans_ind <= 3)
can never be 'always true' regardless of whether the datatype
is char, unsigned char or short.
only in the case where the test is
if ( trans_ind >= 0 )
would the warning be valid.
