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.

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.

Hi Xiao-Yong,

thanks, maybe fixed in SVN 1011.
Problem with that error is that the casted type is not a pointer, at least on my machine.
