Re: Parameter prototype question

Barbara,

But it surely *is* smart enough to recognize that

Pack5P = Pack10P;

could be problematic?

Given this whole set of problematic scenarios, would it perhaps not be

warnings and perhaps take preventive / corrective action accordingly.

Mark, that question has come up before. The compiler isn't smart enough
to know that it shouldn't flag this type of statement
x = x + 1

The thinking was that there would just be way too many warning messages
to cope with.
