Subject: Avoiding "assignment from incompatible pointer type" warning
Date: Sun, 13 Oct 2002 09:08:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <FAECKOGIHAIBBPKBOKGNEEDNDOAA.s@dondley.com> (raw)

Hi,

I've written a simple program that print out each bit of a floating point
variable so I can learn how floating point numbers are represented in
memory.  The program contains the following statements:

int *p;
float g = 2.0625;
p = &g;

The third statement above generates an "assignment from incompatible pointer
type" warning for obvious reasons.  Other than this, the program compiles
fine and works.

My question is:  Is there a way to properly assign a pointer of one type to
a variable of different type so that the warning is suppressed?

Thanks again.
