Summary:
export_plink.cpp:116:57: warning: index of massive has type "char" [-Wchar-subscripts]

Detailed description
The 116 line export_plink.cpp contains a weird thing: the element of massive is addresed by a variable with "char" type. The line 116 in the fuction export_plink: fileWoA << " " << Genotype[gtMatrix[i][csnp]] Here is: 1) std::string* Genotype = new (std::nothrow) std::string [4]; 2) char *gtMatrix = new (std::nothrow) char[nids]; for (int i=0; i<nids; i++) { gtMatrix[i] = new (std::nothrow) char[nsnps]; } gtMatrix[i][csnp] returns char and this char is used as an index for Genotype. I do not understand how it works. My question is: who wrote this code for "export_plink"? Can you help me to fix it if this an error? Compiler report a warning on it, so we need to fix it anyways.
