It seems that this is a correct warning.
"Even though the underlying type of an enum is unspecified, the type
of enumeration constants is explicitly defined as int (6.4.4.3/2 in
the C99 Standard)."

Nonetheless, the comment from Zack is right, so shouldn't we make the
conversion independently of the warning ?
Cheers,
