warning C4244: ‘argument’ : conversion from ‘double’ to ‘int’, possible loss of data

Full error message: warning C4244: ‘argument’ : conversion from ‘double’ to ‘int’, possible loss of data

Error occured on Visual Studio 2003 when compiling a C++ project.

The warning occurred because i was calling the abs function and i did not have included yet the math.h file. The reason that this warning appeared was due to the abs function that was already loaded with other libraries (stdlib.h) and it had only one defined as int abs(int) but I needed the double abs(double) overload. This way the compiler needed to let me know about the implicit cast from double to int.

Example:

double y = 1.2454;
double x = abs((double)y);

Fix:

#include <math.h>

The fix in my case is the following code added to the header of the file #include <math.h>

In Java, I had a class Appointment mapped to a MySQL table `appointment` using Hibernate as follows:

<hibernate-mapping>
<class name="members.Appointment" table="appointment">
<id name="idAppointment" column="idappointment" type="short">
<generator class="native"/>
</id>
<many-to-one name="member" column="idmember" not-null="true" foreign-key="fk_idmember"/>
<property name="startDate" type="timestamp" column="start_date"/>
<property name="duration" type="short" column="duration" length="3"/>
<property name="cancelled" type="boolean"/>
</class>
</hibernate-mapping>

I was getting the error when inserting a new appointment into the database.

The problem was that the idAppointment member variable in the Java class and the idappointment field in the MySQL database table were of the type int. So why the hell did I have the type short in the mapping? The answer is simple: because of the copy paste. So the correct code is:

<id name="idAppointment" column="idappointment">
<generator class="native"/>
</id>

Conclusion: copy paste is sometimes evil.
