Re: proposed g++ patch

[Bill Allombert <Bill.Allombert@math.u-bordeaux.fr>]

Hello, 
for compiling with g++ I do not need the patch proposed by Igor
but the patch at the end of file instead, however I get the (non fatal) warning

g++ -c -O2 -DGCC_INLINE  -mv8  -I. -I../src/headers  -o init.o ../src/language/init.c
../src/language/init.c: In function `volatile void pari_err(long int ...)':
../src/language/init.c:888: warning: ANSI C++ forbids implicit conversion from `void *' in argument passing

when I compile without it.

I know nothing about C++ so I don't see what is really the trouble.

I use :
$g++ -v
Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.7/2.8.1/specs
gcc version 2.8.1   


g++ do not compile without the following patch:
