iOS implicit conversion loses integer precision 'unsigned long' to int

1、问题

NSArray *mArray ;

int len = [mArray count];           warning   implicit conversion loses integer precision 'unsigned long' to int

2、解决方法

方法A：

int count = (int)[mArray count];

方法B：

NSUInteger count;

方法C:

Int count= [NSNumber numberWithLongLong:cmd.length].intValue;

3、原因

The count method of NSArray returns an NSUInteger, and on the 64-bit OS X platform

• NSUInteger is defined as unsigned long, and
• unsigned long is a 64-bit unsigned integer.
• int is a 32-bit integer.

So int is a "smaller" datatype than NSUInteger, therefore the compiler warning.

See also NSUInteger in the "Foundation Data Types Reference":

When building 32-bit applications, NSUInteger is a 32-bit unsigned integer. A 64-bit application treats NSUInteger as a 64-bit unsigned integer.
