Perhaps this should be what -Wconversion reports. But I question whether
the code really is questionable or not. It is well casted and prototyped.
Given the original sample, the code is clean and should not emit a
warning at all, especially in -ansi or -pedantic mode. At best (see below)
it should emit a warning if -Wtraditional is specified.

And This should be moved to -Wtraditional
