[]$ cat a.c
int f(long long a,int b){
return a%b;
}
[]$ gcc -Wall -Wconversion a.c -c
a.c: In function ‘f’:
a.c:2:10: warning: conversion from ‘long long int’ to ‘int’ may change value
[-Wconversion]
2 | return a%b;
| ~^~
```
The specification for `-Wconversion` is "Warn for implicit conversions that may
alter a value.". In this case the result is guaranteed to be convertible to the
type of `b` (`int`) without changing the value.
