Re: [Bug-apl] cast from pointer to smaller type 'int'

[Juergen Sauermann]

Hi Xiao-Yong, I see. In this particular case the pthread_t is only used to identify a thread and to distinguish it from other threads for debugging purposes. So as long as the compiler does not complain about the cast everything is fine. Cast to void * instead of int would also be an option. /// Jürgen   On 09/11/2017 08:38 PM, Xiao-Yong Jin wrote: I don't think there is a portable way of printing a variable of type pthread_t. It could be a struct, depending on the implementation. static_cast<int> is alright, but may not be useful in the future.

Problem with that error is that the casted type is not a pointer, at least on my machine. /// Jürgen On 09/11/2017 06:55 PM, Xiao-Yong Jin wrote: At revision 1010 Thread_context.cc:72:65: error: cast from pointer to smaller type 'int' loses information out << "thread #" << setw(2) << N << ":" << setw(16) << int(thread)
