Summary: Documentation: "Non-Bugs" page should update/mention
something about -Wsign-conversion
Product: gcc

Section 14.8 of GCC manual
"Certain Changes We Don’t Want to Make"
(https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-13.2.0/gcc/Non-bugs.html)
This item:
> Warning about assigning a signed value to an unsigned variable.
> Such assignments must be very common; warning about them would cause more
> annoyance than good.
Perhaps GCC should clarify this a bit. GCC now has the "-Wsign-conversion"
option that warns about similar signed-to-unsigned conversions. So what feature
in particular did GCC choose not to implement? The difference between this
"non-bug" item and the existing "-Wsign-conversion" is what I wish to see.
