It's easily fooled; its C parser is a bit retarded. Same problem in 10.1.0.3 (the cast is lost). How is sql_error() defined, what compiler options are you using, and what compiler messages do you get?

Possible solutions: suppress the warnings (assuming they're not errors and that everything works despite the compiler's whinging), or redefine sql_error so that the cast is unnecessary. Received on Fri Jan 28 2005 - 07:06:13 CST
