Say I have a char defined as "char mess[10];" and I want to toupper mess[0] of it I do mess[0]=toupper((int)mess[0]); and include ctype.h On linux, dec unix this works fine. No warning or anything. On cygwinb20 (win95&win98) I get: server.c:2680: warning: ANSI C forbids braced-groups within expressions I've also tried *mess=toupper((int)*mess); Putting () around *mess doesn't work either..The () inside the toupper() is what the problem is, I think. But I don't know how to pass it as int WITHOUT putting (int), short of doing something like: int upit; upit=mess[0]; mess[0]=toupper(upit); I don't really want to have to create a new int variable just for this. The program works fine, I just want the warning gone and it to see it as ANSI compliant. I'm compiling with.. gcc -Wall -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-qual -Wcast-align -Waggregate-return -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline -Wshadow -pedantic -o objs/server.o -c server.c Please don't tell me to just not use all the -W options :-) Thanx, -Cygnus .-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-.
