type checking Technical Information type checking
Every expression has a type, such as int, char, or double. C is
not strongly typed, which means that it allows different types to
be mixed relatively freely, and be changed (or cast) from one
type to another.
COHERENT checks types more strictly than the C standard implies.
COHERENT's type checking can be enabled or disabled in degrees,
using -VSTRICT and other ``variant'' options with the cc command.
