Since it is mentioned, I got

# cat f.c
extern int foo_short (short);
extern int foo_long (long);
int
foo (long *i)
{
  if (0)
    return foo_short ((short) i);
  else
    return foo_long ((long) i);
}
# gcc -c f.c
f.c: In function `foo':
f.c:7: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size

I find it is quite annoying.
