Patch using an explicit static_cast<int> for the return value attached.
Do you know that the long int value can never exceed the range of int? If not, the static_cast will simply mask the problem. It would be better to check against std::numeric_limits<int>::max() before casting, and resort to an exception if the range is exceeded.
So I looked up ios.iword at stdcxx.apache.org and found long& iword(int idx); So the best probably would be to return a "long" value. But I think the author should know best ;-) Yours, Jürgen -- * Dipl.-Math. Jürgen Hunold ! Ingenieurgesellschaft für * voice: ++49 511 262926 57 !
