It looks like that warning is generated due to /W64 (Detect 64-bit  
portability issues) command line option. If you disable it I bet the  
warning will go away. Although this option looks helpful, I think it  
generates false possitives. For example it will generate a warning if you  
assign a size_t to an unsigned int due to how size_t is defined with this  
command line option enabled.
