int conversion warning

[RichieMac]

Hi

Could anyone tell me what this warning means:

warning C4267: 'function' : conversion from 'size_t' to 'unsigned int', possible loss of data

Thanks

In VC++ 6.0 size_t typedef (i.e. type alias name) is the same as unsigned int and you can't get this message at all. In other implementation you can: for example, if size_t is defined as unsigned long (C Standard does not specify integral type for size_t). See size_t definition in <stdlib.h> header in your compiler include library...

Thanks for the help.
