Compiler warning level ?

[Florian_L_1]

Hello there,

I'd like to have the Compiler warning me for the following things:

uninitialized variables

conversions between different datatypes with possible data loss ( float flTest = 1.2225f; int iTest = flTest; )

How would I go about that ? Is there a specific Switch I will need to set ?

Thanks in advance!

For the first warning on Linux you should use the -Wuninitialized flag and on Windows the diagnostic comes out as a warning by default, i.e.:

!% cat warning.c

int main() {
  float flTest = 1.2225f;
  int iTest = flTest;
  int i;
  i++;
  return 0;
}

!% icl -c warning.c

We do not have a diagnostic for the int to float conversion. I will enter a request for that. Linux has a -Wfloat-conversion switch but we don't support that yet. I will submit a request for that.

I submitted DPD200415464    in our internal bugs database for a warning on the int to float conversion.

thanks for the suggestion.
