weisen@eniac.seas.upenn.edu (Neil Weisenfeld) <26854@netnews.upenn.edu> :
| Why does the following segment of code give a conversion between
| integral types warning under MSC6.00?
| 
| void strmem(char *mem, char *str, int n)
| {
|   if (str && mem)
|     while (n--)
|       *mem++=(*str)?(*str++):ACTUAL_SPACE;
| }

K&R2 indicates that the conditional operator ( ? : ) expects a logical
expression in the initial position, and logical expressions evaluate to
integers.  Try casting the (*str) to (int) type; that might silence it.

Disclaimer:  I haven't tried my TC, so I don't know what MSC actually does :-)
