In Microsoft C Versions earlier than Version 6.00, the C4061 warning
was generated only if the actual and formal arguments to a function
were a mix of long and int types. Beginning with Microsoft C Version
6.00, this warning message will be generated if the types are a mix of
int and char. This is not a fatal error and is generated only to alert
the programmer that there MAY be a problem.
The error message is generated for the following sample code at
warning level 1. If the /Qc option is used (Quick Compile), the
warning is not generated at any warning level. Also, in QuickC
Versions 2.00, 2.01, 2.50, and 2.51, a warning is never generated for
this code.
Sample Code
-----------
#include <stdio.h>
void foo (char); /* At prototype level argument type is CHAR */
void main(void);
void main (void)
{
foo (200); /* Now passing an INTEGER to a CHAR */
}
void foo (char c) /* Argument correctly declared as CHAR */
{}
