I am getting a compiler warning when I build the latest HEAD PostgreSQL with
visual studio 2017.
src/backend/replication/logical/proto.c(482): warning C4312: 'type cast': conversion from 'unsigned int' to 'char *' of greater size
Details of the warning is available in the link [1].
The code at the line is,
tuple->values[i] = (char *) (Size)0xdeadbeef; /* make bad usage more obvious */
If I change the code as (char *) (Size)0xdeadbeef;
or (char *) (INT_PTR)0xdeadbeef; the warning disappears.
How about fixing it as below and add the typecast or disable
this warning?
/*
* PTR_CAST
* Used when converting integer addresses to a pointer.
* The casting is used to avoid generating warning in
* windows
*/
#ifdef WIN32
#define PTR_CAST INT_PTR
#else
#define PTR_CAST
#endif
