I think this is a gcc 4.1 issue. I found I couldn't cast from a Thing
*x[] to a void ** in one step without triggering a warning like this.
If I cast to void* and then to void **, all was well.
Anyway, insert a mysterious extra cast and the warnings vanish. Try
compiling this with -O2 -Wall and you'll see only one line triggers a
warning.
============
void
test (void **base)
{
}
int
main ()
{
int *thing[3];
test ((void **) thing);
test ((void **) ((void *) thing));
return (0);
}
==============
(now someone will tell me the compiler is correct and casting "int
*x[]" to "void **" is indeed wrong :-)
