I am not sure why older compiler is not complaining this. Unfortunately both x86 and cross compiler are not throwing any warnings though :( gcc version 5.3.0 (GCC) Target: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu gcc version 4.8.3 (OpenWrt/Linaro GCC 4.8-2014.04 r47724) Target: arm-openwrt-linux-uclibcgnueabi Any suggestions welcome. -Rajkumar
