R devel - Jan 2010 - R_ext manual: type cast in C function registration

Hi,

the "Writing R extensions" manual currently advises to register a
.Call
function as follows:

   R_CallMethodDef callMethods[]  = {
       {"myCall", &myCall, 3},
       {NULL, NULL, 0}
   };

This produces a compiler warning, at least on my GCC, because the second
slot in the R_CallMethodDef is declared as DL_FUNC (which is declared as
'typedef void * (*DL_FUNC)();').

I'd suggest to change the example code in the manual to include an
explicit cast, i.e., 


   R_CallMethodDef callMethods[]  = {
       {"myCall", (DL_FUNC) &myCall, 3},
       {NULL, NULL, 0}
   };

in order to get rid of an unnecessary compiler warning.

Cheers
  Simon
