 Message        <Context> "<expression>" has a larger data size than
                "<target type>".  Assignment can result in data loss.

 Description    In an assignment of a pointer to one of the integer
                types, or one of the integer types to a pointer, the
                size of the source is greater than the size of the
                destination.  The assignment can result in a loss of
                data.  This might not have been what you intended.

 User Action    If this was the intended operation, cast the source
                to the type of the destination before the assignment.
