It's not.

Hince the ma. The > int * cast is the last thing to my knowledge to try. More to the point, the int * case you attempted to use isn't a cast at all. But that's not your problem at all. That's rather that you're using the *entirely* wrong standard library function.

The kind of question you're asking here rather strongly hints that the opposite of this is true. -- Hans-Bernhard Broeker (broeker AT physik DOT rwth-aachen DOT de) Even if all the snow were burnt, ashes would remain.
