Re: [Boost-users] [range] From 1.33.0 gives new warning vs 1.32

Hi Thorsten I must say that I agree with Kevin (and the gcc compiler) here. A C-style cast is not only a const cast; it is a everything-cast... if the only purpose is to cast away const, be clear and use a const cast. I can see no compelling reason (except laziness) not to. /Peter

I had some code that with 1.32 compiled fine when compiled with warnings as errors, but now with 1.33 I get:

...

Compiled with gcc 3.2.3 under Linux,

perhaps something like this is needed?

...

template< class Char > inline Char* str_end( Char* s ) { - return (Char*)str_end( s, s ); + return const_cast(str_end( s, s ));

what's the difference? A c-style cast is also a const-cast.
