Maybe I should read K&R a little more thoroughly before posting this, but...

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;
}

where ACTUAL_SPACE is defined:

#define ACTUAL_SPACE ' '

The *mem++= line gets the error.  Since everything is a char, I'm not
sure what the problem is.



Thanks in adv.,
Neil
