Hello all, I tried yesterday GCC 4.3.1 for the first time, and I encountered a bad surprise. If I do typedef unsigned char ubyte; ubyte a,b,c; c=a+b; c+=a; for some reason now the operator+ automatically converts the ubyte to int, generating in the above code a warning. This has been ok with all previous gcc compilers. Is there any way to deactivate this? I mean, not only the warning but avoiding the unnecesary casts? This new behaviour is even worse in the following cases: typedef signed char byte; byte a,b,c; ... a=-b; // the operator- also produces an int ! or c=b/a; // the operator/ also produces an int in the later cases the casts to are absolutelly innecessary, since the results are always in range (assuming a!=0 of course)! Any hints will be very welcome, Pablo
