That looks wrong to me - if these functions aren't returning the same type as the function they call then something is wrong. That you're getting a conversion to int warning is odd since type1 should always be a floating point type. Which version of Visual C++ are you using?

I'm not using it at all -- the Boost regression tests are triggering this warning in several Boost.Graph files. One example is http://tinyurl.com/mgvn4z (ignore the later errors, I think they're unrelated). It looks like the only warnings here are from EVC++.

(In [53828]) Try to avoid float to int warning when a float function doesn't exist. Refs #3171.

The warning is no longer appearing in the trunk results. I'll merge to the release branch soon. Thanks for the report.
