[issue23450] Possible loss of data warnings building 3.5 Visual Studio Windows 8.1 64 bit

[Steve Dower]

Steve Dower added the comment:

These are warnings about implicit downcasting in a 64-bit build. They're not fatal to the build or execution (as far as we know), and as nice as it would be to fix them all, "good" fixes may introduce behaviour changes (for example, new overflow errors).

As an aside, building with VS 2015 also shows a lot of warnings for variable shadowing, which should also be fixed but is not likely unless someone gets really annoyed by them. What's the usual policy on issues like this?
