Question and Answer Database FAQ1444C.txt TypeCasting in BC5 Category :C/C++ Language Issues Platform :All Product : BC++5.x Question: Why do I have to explicitly cast in v5.01 and not in versions 3.x, 4.x, and 5.0? Answer: As the C++ spec has evolved, the rules for argument matching have been tightened up. Borland has worked to keep the compiler as current with the proposed spec as possible. This is why things which use to compile may not compile now. There was a bug in 5.00 5.0a and 5.0b that allowed you to get away with not casting in certain instances. That bug is fixed in BC++ 5.01, which means you must now add explicit casts. 7/2/98 10:32:32 AM
