Sometimes changing a type will eliminate the warning. For example, the 'long' could be changed to the TIFF 64-bit size type. Or if 64-bits was excessive in the first place, perhaps it can be carefully reduced to 32 bits much sooner so that much of the code does not need to worry about these large types. > I did try to ignore the situation for a long time in the hope that > others would fix it properly! Hopefully you noticed that my activities a week or two ago eliminated a large number of warnings (while actually removing many casts). Of course, removal of the core dumps was my primary concern.
