Unsigned integer types are modulo types; it is no overflow. Yes, they're modulo types, that's why this is NOT an error, but I still think that should be a WARNING. There're compilers like Tasking that throw a warning out on that one, so I'm really searching for a way to enable a warning for that one (maybe something like the warning -Wconversion), and not some extra code (Eljay, thanks anyway!!), because it should work on existing code and I don't want to get code-explosion (we're working embedded) just because some range-check that could be done by the compiler... So it seems there's really no way for GCC to warn here? Thanks again Gaby and Eljay, /\/\artin -- Dipl.-Inf.
