I try to get a clean compile for a project using SDL. But I get warnings
from SDL headers when I use -Wold-style-cast. This is especially bad
because I plan to build the software with -Werror=old-style-cast when we
have switched over to GCC 4.2, which has that option.
But this problem can be fixed in the SDL headers. I checked out the SVN
version and made some patches. See the attached patch called SDL-cast.diff.
I also modified SDL_net (see the attached patch called
SDN_net-cast.diff, also against the SVN version). First I had to change
an include to build it against the SVN version of SDL. Then I did some
cast changes there as well.
The project I work on does not use all macros that I changed, so I have
not tested all changes. But if something breaks when building for C++,
it is probably because there is a static_cast where only a
reinterpret_cast is accepted.
I hope to see this issue fixed in the next release.
