             Summary: [C++] Remove -Wconversion from build flags
                 Key: ARROW-3522
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-3522
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: Wish
          Components: C++
    Affects Versions: 0.11.0
            Reporter: Antoine Pitrou


I would request removing {{-Wconversion}} from the CI build flags. It is overly 
finicky, generating errors for things such as converting a {{size_t}} to 
{{double}}. Furthermore, {{gbenchmark}} fails building with it, making it 
difficult to exercise locally.

I will mention that MSVC's conversion warnings are vastly more reasonable.
