Is there an example where it leads to bugs? I don't know why C++ doesn't follow C here, but there must be some reason, no? On the other hand, it seems we *do* warn about it with -Wconversion. So, where do you want to move it? Check the list of GCC warnings: http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Warning-Options.html I think this isn't worth discussing anymore, it just needs someone to be bothered enough by it to write a patch+testcases, bootstrap, run the regression testsuite and submit to gcc-patches. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=35669
