Hello,
People from the OCE project felt the need to make compiler happier by avoiding compiler warnings. We believe that this is a valuable goal, and we already spotted several bugs. I will post a first set of 25 patches against OCCT 6.5.1, each in its own thread.

Denis, all,
Just to express my support of this initiative spirit - eliminating warnings is a good valuable goal. Indeed, there are often error-level warnings that must be fixed (no returned value, 32 vs 64 bit issues, ...). I believe that zero warnings must be a check-in criteria for any new commit. As far as legacy files are concerned, it requires a focused effort like this one, so kudos.
Of course, there is a downside when compilers may generate annoying warnings on totally correct code but OCC is not that clean yet to worry about.
