Hi Stefan,

I have two simple questions concerning the compilation errors for pma.mx http://pma.mx.

(i) pma.mx:393 http://pma.mx:393/: parameter "dummy" was set but never used, here "dummy" is defined for PMAdel_@1(void *dummy, bat *bid, oid *pos). I use "void *dummy" since this function has no input parameters. What I did is in line 401 using "dummy=0", but the compiler still complains. What is the right way to handle it?

Use (void) dummy; This tells the compiler all it needs to know to stop giving the warning.

(ii) the other question is still about type conversion. many warnings are like this "slen = ceil(dstep);" while the lhs is a BUN while the rhs is a double value. Is "slen = (BUN) ceil(dstep)" a right way?

What about slen = (psz + cnt - 1) / cnt; instead of dstep = (dbl)psz / cnt; slen = ceil(dstep); (and similar changes)? This avoid conversion to and from dbl, and the need for a function call.

many thanks, Nan Tang

Nan,

in addition to Sjoerd's comments, I noticed that your approach to solving/avoiding some of the type mismatch complaints on Windows is to add an explicit cast, in most cases from type oid to type int. The latter is 32-bit (signed) on all platforms, while the former can be either 32-bit or 64-bit (unsigned, but only 31/63 bits are actually used). In case oid is 64-(63-)bit, casting to int might result in an overflow; I did not see any checks or assertions to ensure that such overflows cannot happen or are detected properly.

As far as I can see, most of the cases deal with variable that (explicitly or implicitly) represent the number of BUNs in a BAT. For that purpose, you should better use type BUN in C code and :wrd in MAL, instead of mixing oid & int. :wrd is 32-bit on 32-bit systems and 64-bit on 64-bit systems (signed); BUN is large enough to hold the max. number of BUNs allowed per BAT, i.e., 32-bit on 32-bit systems and 64-bit systems with 32-bit OIDs, and 64-bit on 64-bit systems with 64-bit OIDs (unsigned, but only 31/63 bits are used).

Let me know, in case you need more advice about the MonetDB type system and how to use it.
