Hi Everyone,

It has been a little while :)

I have been working on a project in MS VC.  I try to
make (this) project(s) as "portable" as I can so that other
compilers (namely DJGPP :) can compile it too.

However, I came across the following:

In MS VC6.x and MS QC2.5, the following compiles as
expected:

unsigned short repcnt;
unsigned char *li_s;

// get the WORD at li_s
repcnt = (unsigned short) (unsigned short *) *li_s;


What I am trying to do is get the WORD at the BYTE PTR's
location.  In VC6.x and QC2.5, the above compiles and
works as expected, but not in DGJPP.

link.c:927: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size
link.c:927: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size

What is the DJGPP equivalent to the above code?

Thanks,

Ben
