why the warning?

U16 FFSStemq;
STR_SUBF code *s_subf;
...
        FFSStemq = (U16 *) s_subf;

U16 is unsigned short, STR_SUBF is a structure. the line of code (FFSStemq = ... ) gives WARNING C260 '=' pointer truncation.

nothing get truncated, there is no memory beyond 64k.

"U16 *" casts to a generic pointer. That generic pointer gets truncated by the assignment to a U16. You probably want

FFSStemq = (U16 code*)s_subf;

Drew,

Thanks again, you are a true treasure in this cleanup. I am working with some old stuff where someone has 4711 warnings and did not care about them. As so often before, when 222 different things come up some stall.

Thanks again and a happy new year.

Erik
