I suppose you could write some wrapper macros that use __typeof (or whatever that compiler-specific keyword is) to automatically cast your second argument to the type of the first argument. You could even limit it to "safe" conversions.
Look at tgmath.h for inspiration. --Kyle Sluder (Sent from the road) On Aug 16, 2011, at 11:50 AM, Sean McBride <s...@rogue-research.com> wrote: > On Tue, 16 Aug 2011 10:36:57 -0700, Jens Alfke said: > >> I’ve been using the STxxx test macros lately, as they’re the path of >> least resistance, but I’m getting pretty frustrated with them.
