Has anyone experienced the sort of compiler behaviour Vince mentions?  eg.

  char *dest, *srce;
  strcpy(dest, srce);

gives a warning but

  char *dest, *srce;
  (void) strcpy(dest, srce);

does not ... ?

Some compilers complain if you don't cast the return of a nonvoid function
to (void) when you're not using the return.

Part of the price you pay for working with a dozen or so compilers (and counting).
