[En-Nut-Discussion] [RESENT] Nutdisc: cast from DISCOVERY_TELE* to int loses precision

Hi Uwe,

sorry, I missed your last Mail on this topic.

I just looked into the code and it seems that there is a 64bit pointer
castet to an int. I think an int is still defined as 32 bit here?

Unfortunately I don't know wxWidgets event handling, therefore I don't
clearly understand what "event.SetInt((int)dist);" does. But I think the
pointer to the discovery telegram shall be an argument to this event.
Casting it to a 32 bit value will definately fail.

This will only suppress the warning, right?

So I think the code must be reworked to pass a correct pointer instead
of a 32 bit integer.

bye,

Ole
