I've created a file handler function for an assignment which accesses a binary file, takes the int data from the file and passes it to an array.

The code is below. The problem I have is with the line "numElements = inFile.tellg() / sizeof(int);". When I compile the program, I'm getting a warning:

warning C4267: '=': conversion from 'size_t' to 'int', possible loss of data

Is there anyone who can point me the way to a solution? the code still compiles and the function runs correctly, but I would like to resolve this issue.

 void fileHandler(ifstream &inFile, string &filename, int &numElements, int *&A)
    {
    inFile.open(filename, ios::binary);
    if(inFile.is_open()){
        inFile.seekg(0, ios::end);
        numElements = inFile.tellg() / sizeof(int);
        inFile.seekg(0, ios::beg);
        A = new int[numElements];
        inFile.read((char *)A, numElements * sizeof(int));
        inFile.close();
    } else{
        cerr << "Error opening file. Exiting program." << endl;
        exit(0);
    }
}
